<p>The Timberwolves play four games this week, with two draws against the Houston Rockets.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canishoopus.com/">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> dropped an unfortunate game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/">Los Angeles Lakers</a> at home during the weekend, giving the Lakers a rare road win in what has been a rather lame season away from Staples Center for them. It's last Monday's loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thedreamshake.com/">Houston Rockets</a> that the Timberwolves will be paying more attention to though, as the Wolves face the Rockets twice in the upcoming week.</p>
<p>Monday brings the first game against the Rockets, on the road. The Rockets are currently 12-8 and look to be a playoff team after two straight years of missing the big show. They also have a win against the Timberwolves to remember earlier in the month, when the Rockets stormed into Target Center and won 107-92.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.indycornrows.com/">Indiana Pacers</a> come into town on Wednesday for a tough matchup between two teams on the rise. The Pacers are coming off a huge win over the Central leading <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Chicago Bulls</a> and another big win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>, both winning teams. Though people had questioned the Pacers 13-6 record due to a fairly weak schedule, they're starting to prove that they are <a href="http://www.indycornrows.com/2012/1/30/2757902/ic-cold-links-pacers-survive-tough-week-with-big-road-wins">one of the teams to beat </a>in the NBA right now.</p>
<p>The weekend brings a back to back for the Wolves on Friday on Saturday, against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">New Jersey Nets</a> to start and with their second Houston game immediately after. The Wolves are 9-11 right now, and they <a href="http://www.canishoopus.com/2012/1/29/2757352/wanting-more-than-cute">want to start looking a little more fierce.</a></p>
