Although the Minnesota Timberwolves are in last place of their division, they are the last place team with the most positive energy around it.
They’ve been far better defensively over the past month and have gone 5-5 in their past 10 games. Minnesota has wins against Memphis, Phoenix and Washington at home and is playing well in losses to some contenders.
The Timberwolves beat the Wizards 97-77 in Kevin Garnett’s return to Minnesota on Wednesday, which has renewed the energy inside the Target Center for their remaining home games.
Andrew Wiggins is playing well, averaging 21.6 points per game in the five games since the All-Star break. Kevin Martin and Ricky Rubio are back from injury, but Nikola Pekovic was limited to 12 minutes Saturday with a sore right foot Pekovic has had great success against the Clippers—Minnesota’s next opponent—averaging 24.3 points per game in his previous four games against Los Angeles.
Below are March’s most and least expensive average ticket prices for Timberwolves games on ScoreBig.
Most Expensive: 3/13/2015 | Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves | Avg: $165.24 | Get-in: $19
The highest average ticket price to a Minnesota Timberwolves game in the month of March is one away from home at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, OK. The Thunder has battled injuries all season and is continuing to play without Kevin Durant and/or Russell Westbrook. The TWolves can play the role of spoiler, as the Thunder still need to win games to secure the eighth or seventh seed in the playoffs. It is no wonder Thunder tickets on ScoreBig are holding high value.
Most Expensive Home Game: 3/7/2015 | Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Portland Trail Blazers | Avg: $126.41 | Get-in: $37
The Portland Trail Blazers are always a strong draw at home or on the road. When they are one of the top teams in the West, tickets to their games are hot commodities. The Blazers are 7-3 in their last 10 games and are in a jumble for playoff seeding. They can land anywhere between being the second seed to the seventh seed.
Least Expensive Games: 3/23/2015 | Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves | Avg: $56.89 | Get-in: $3
There’s not many better deals than seeing an NBA game with a walk-in price of $3. The Jazz host the TWolves at EnergySolutions Arena on March 23rd to be the least expensive average ticket price for a Timberwolves game in March. The least expensive average ticket price for a home game at the Target Center is against the Jazz, with an average ticket price of $60.12 and a walk-in price of $7.
A strong finish with another high draft pick will have another offseason of high optimism for the Timberwolves. But they’ve had those before, and need to show the NBA they can jump over the hurdle with their young talent, and perhaps the mentoring of Garnett can help.
