Raptors vs. Timberwolves preview

The Raptors have lost three of their last four games, coming into a matchup against the Wolves, who are one of the best teams in the Western Conference. The three teams the Raptors have lost to in the last week or so have been top-tier playoff contenders in the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, and New York Knicks.

These are the types of teams the Raptors have struggled to beat over the course of the season, and it showcases a larger issue going into a possible postseason run.

Getting wins against quality opponents will be something the Raptors have to do in the playoffs, so they need to figure out how to do that before the postseason begins in about a month's time. This game against the Wolves will give the Raptors a strong opportunity to do that.

The Raptors came very close to beating the Wolves a month ago, but they fell short in the final minutes of the game inside Scotiabank Arena. Now they'll have to try to figure out how to get a win on the road in the Target Center, which won't be easy. The Wolves are 21-11 this season at home.
