Over/under win totals have been released for the 2025-26 NBA season, and the Timberwolves' is set at 50.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. That is the seventh-highest win total in the league.

The six teams with a higher win total than the Timberwolves include the Thunder (62.5), Cavaliers (55.5), Rockets (55.5), Nuggets (53.5), Knicks( (51.5), and Magic (51.5).

After last year's blockbuster Karl-Anthony Towns trade before the season, the Timberwolves started a bit slow, but still finished the regular season with a 49-33 record. They'll return their main core of players, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker as the only notable departure, so a 50.5-win total seems like a fair prediction.

In the 36-year history of the Timberwolves, they've reached 51 wins three times. They went 51-31 in 2002-03; 58-24 in 2003-04; and 56-26 in 2023-24. Back-to-back Western Conference Finals appearances have completely altered expectations, but it shows we're truly in a new era of Wolves basketball.

Minnesota has the pieces to make another deep postseason run, and the experts seem to agree.
