Timberwolves can clinch a playoff spot tonight with a win over the Pacers and a Suns loss. Anthony Edwards is day-to-day with a knee injury heading into the final week.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a golden opportunity to lock up a guaranteed playoff spot tonight. The formula is simple: beat the tanking Indiana Pacers and hope the Phoenix Suns lose. If both results go their way, Minnesota clinches the 6th seed and avoids the play-in tournament entirely.

The catch? Anthony Edwards is day-to-day with a knee injury heading into the final week of the regular season. Edwards has been the engine of everything Minnesota does on offense, and losing him even for a game or two could be the difference between a locked-in playoff spot and a stressful play-in scenario.

The Suns, meanwhile, are locked into the play-in with a loss and a Wolves win — setting up a potential Suns-Warriors play-in matchup that nobody in Phoenix wanted. For Minnesota, tonight's game against Indiana should be winnable regardless of Edwards' status, but the playoffs are a different story. They need Ant healthy.
