Memphis Looks to Avoid Play-In, Minnesota Aims to Climb
As the NBA regular season winds down, the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves in a fierce battle for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. When the two teams face off Thursday night in Memphis, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The Grizzlies (47-32) are determined to avoid the play-in tournament and can clinch a top-six seed by winning out. Their current three-game win streak—including a dominant 124-100 road victory over the Charlotte Hornets—has them trending upward at the right time.
“We’re in a tough, tough battle with some other teams,” said interim coach Tuomas Iisalo. “And I couldn’t ask for more from our guys. They are doing everything they can.”
However, Memphis suffered a setback despite Tuesday’s win. Rookie Jaylen Wells, who has started 74 games, sustained a broken wrist after a hard fall. His absence is significant for a team that relied on his defensive presence and ability to guard top opposing scorers.
Stepping up in Wells’ absence has been fellow rookie Zach Edey. The 7-foot-4 big man has delivered back-to-back monster performances, recording 21 rebounds at Detroit and following it with 17 points and 19 rebounds against Charlotte.
“He’s in a rhythm,” Iisalo said. “It looks sustainable. He’s playing with great poise and physicality.”
Minnesota Eyes Rebound After Collapse
The Timberwolves (46-33) also find themselves in the heart of the playoff race but enter Thursday’s matchup reeling from a dramatic 110-103 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Minnesota squandered a 24-point lead, allowing Milwaukee to outscore them 40-13 in the fourth quarter.
Despite the disappointment, coach Chris Finch is confident in his team’s ability to bounce back.
“We’ve got to shake it off,” Finch said. “We have to get the ones that are there to be gotten.”
Star guard Anthony Edwards scored 25 points but struggled with efficiency, going 10-of-27 from the floor. Edwards acknowledged the weight of the loss but remained optimistic.
“We’re good,” Edwards said. “Of course we didn’t want to lose, but we know we need to win the next game.”
Minnesota had won five straight games before the loss to Milwaukee and still has a shot at securing as high as the No. 3 seed if things break right.

Series Recap and Final Push
This will be the third meeting between the Grizzlies and Timberwolves this season. Memphis has won both prior matchups—a 127-125 road win on Jan. 11 and a 108-106 home victory on Jan. 20.
With only a few games remaining, every possession matters. For both teams, Thursday night’s contest is not just another game—it’s a playoff-caliber showdown with postseason implications on the line.
