Four games left. The Pacers only need to go .500 to secure the best possible draft odds. Tonight, you'd imagine, would be a good opportunity to pick up one of those losses.

The Timberwolves are contender on a slump (three game losing streak and 5-5 over their last 10). It's a product of bad injury luck to finish the year. Both Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels have missed time with knee injuries. Still, you know they have this game circled as one where they get an easy win and stop the slide.

The loss of Edwards et al has tanked the Wolves' offensive production, though their defense has remained strong. Conversely, Indiana has been scoring the ball well but treating defense as optional.

We'll see what happens tonight but my gut says Donte DiVincenzo gets hot and carries the Wolves to a win.
