As the Lakers process what Minnesota did to them and start to think about head coach J.J. Redick’s plea for all players (ahem: Luka Doncic) to be in “championship shape” next season, the Wolves are getting some rest as they wait to find out their next opponent on this year’s title quest.

We know the Wolves won’t play again until Tuesday. What we don’t know yet is who they will play or where they will play.

Here’s how Houston’s 115-107 win over Golden State on Friday and the outcome of Sunday’s deciding Game 7 between the two teams impacts the Wolves:

• If the Warriors would have won Friday, Golden State would have been Minnesota’s opponent in the conference semifinals. The series would have started Monday at Target Center.
• But because the Rockets won and forced a Game 7 back in Houston on Sunday, we know that the conference semifinals won’t start until Tuesday. If the Rockets also win Game 7, they will be the Wolves’ opponent and would have the home-court advantage as the No. 2 seed. Games 1 and 2 would be Tuesday and Thursday in Houston, while Games 3 and 4 would be the following Saturday and Monday at Target Center.
• If seventh-seeded Golden State wins Game 7, the Wolves will host the Warriors in Games 1 and 2 on Tuesday and Thursday, while Games 3 and 4 would be the following Saturday and Monday at Golden State.

Either way the series will start Tuesday, meaning the Rockets or Warriors will have just one off day before facing the Wolves while Minnesota has been resting since finishing off the Lakers on Wednesday. Wolves home playoff tickets for the conference semifinals in either scenario went on sale at noon Friday.

Now that we’ve answered the basics, let’s dissect a more complicated question that Jeff Day and I also tackled on Friday’s Daily Delivery podcast: Who should the Wolves want to play?

• Why the Wolves would want to face Golden State: The Warriors are the lower seed, which would give the Wolves the home-court edge. Golden State leans on a lot of veterans who could be fatigued at the end of their seven-game series vs. Houston. And Golden State plays a lot of “small ball” lineups without a true center, something the Wolves could exploit like they did against the Lakers.
• Why the Wolves wound not want to face Golden State: The Warriors might be No. 7 seed, but they are a completely different team since acquiring former Wolves forward Jimmy Butler midseason. Add in Steph Curry and Draymond Green and Golden State has a wealth of championship experience. The Warriors also went 3-1 against Minnesota this season.
• Why the Wolves would want to face Houston: The teams split four competitive games this season. Most of the Rockets’ core is young and inexperienced, traits that can be exploited in the postseason.
• Why the Wolves would not want to face Houston: The Rockets are a deeper team that plays with more energy than the Lakers or Warriors. They could present matchup problems for the Wolves. Houston would also have the home-court advantage.

If the Warriors win, buckle up. Anthony Edwards would be trying to eliminate more legends, including Olympic teammate Curry (whom the Wolves should have drafted in 2009, setting the franchise back a decade). Butler would be booed unmercifully at Target Center after his messy exit from Minnesota seven years ago. Green has a history of putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock.

Rooting just for drama? The Warriors are an easy call.
