Last season, Minnesota was an underdog in the first round despite being the No. 3 seed and just one game behind the No. 1 seed. The Phoenix Suns were -115 to defeat the Timberwolves, which ended in a 4-0 sweep by Minnesota, where Edwards showed nothing short of pure dominance all series long.

The upcoming first-round playoff series between the Lakers and Timberwolves will have as much star power as any other across the NBA.
