A ray of hope
The Wolves are below .500, but the schedule affords them at least a couple more runs at getting past the .500 barrier. Minnesota faces just one team in the next six games with a winning record. There's also an eight-game stretch to start March that doesn't include any games against teams with a winning record, with six of those games at home. Of their final 46 games, only 18 are against teams with a winning record. Here's a look at the Wolves' future schedule, by month:
JANUARY
Home: 5
Away: 6
vs. winning teams: 3
vs. .500 or worse: 8
FEBRUARY
Home: 5
Away: 6
vs. winning teams: 7
vs. .500 or worse: 4
MARCH
Home: 9
Away: 7
vs. winning teams: 4
vs. .500 or worse: 12
APRIL
Home: 5
Away: 4
vs. winning teams: 4
vs. .500 or worse: 5
