50 NBA draft lottery simulations: Here's how the Timberwolves fared
After two lopsided wins over clearly tanking teams — Orlando and Detroit — the Wolves now have just the sixth-worst record in the league. With a 22-47 overall record through 69 games, they have one more win than Orlando, Cleveland and Oklahoma City plus two more than Detroit. Each of those teams either has two or three games left in this 72-game season.

The Wolves wanted to win as much as possible, and they've sacrificed about 12.5% in odds of retaining a top three pick or shipping it to Golden State in order to go 6-3 over their last nine games.
