Currently, the Wolves are only 0.5 games behind the 6th seeded Nuggets and 1.5 games behind the 5th seeded Mavs. Yes, they do have a relatively tough remaining schedule, however, if they play their cards right, we might get to see the Wolves advance to the playoffs without taking part in the infamous play-in tournament.
