Things were looking up for the Timberwolves. They went into the weekend with a five-game winning streak. But that ended Saturday with a loss to the Washington Wizards, who are ranked at the bottom of the NBA.

Anthony Edwards was out with an illness. Julius Randle was out with an injury. And Naz Reid left the game with a finger sprain.

The Wolves play at home Monday night and as many as six players on the roster could be out. This is all happening as NBA fans are reeling from a trade between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Which may leave fans in Minnesota wondering, are the Wolves going to make a move before the trade deadline on Thursday?
