The Minnesota Timberwolves are one win away from reaching the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row. The Wolves are up 3-1 in their second-round matchup with the Golden State Warriors after they pulled away for a win in Monday night's Game 4.

The Celtics were clicking on all cylinders, with Derrick White leading the way. The role player, who has become much more than just that in recent years, finished with 34 points, shooting 7-of-13 from deep in the win.

The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 117-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 30 points, including 16 during a pivotal third-quarter run that shifted the game's momentum.

But what about Minnesota? The Timberwolves currently own the No. 17 pick, Detroit’s selection that they acquired as part of their trade with the Knicks back in September. Who is Minnesota projected to select in the first round of next month’s draft? Here’s who the experts suspect may soon be joining the organization:

Two long-suffering NBA franchises can secure conference title spots with Game 5 wins Wednesday, although only Minnesota is favored.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be hosting Golden State Warriors in Game 5 in the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday, May 14th at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Yet Minnesota didn’t attempt to lose, even late in the season. The Timberwolves played Dallas on the final day of the 2020-21 campaign, and a loss would have improved Minnesota’s odds of jumping into the top three by 4.3%. Instead, the Wolves went for the win and waxed the Mavericks.

At +600 odds, the Timberwolves have a 14.29% implied probability of winning their first NBA Championship, according to FanDuel. After beginning the postseason as betting underdogs against the Lakers, they've seen a meteoric rise up the title odds list.
