Steph Curry is the third-best scorer in the NBA this season, averaging 30.7 points per game.

Curry has an over/under of 30.5 points for Tuesday's matchup. He has scored 30 or more points in three of his last four games. It's likely safe to take the -108 for him to go over with odds of -110 to go under.

However, if Curry doesn't play on Tuesday, the next best bet is on Anthony Edward. He's averaging 28.4 points this season with an over/under of 26.5 points. He has been playing magnificently during the Timberwolves winning streak, so it might be safer to take the -120 odds for him to go over than -110 under.

Rudy Gobert is averaging 12.8 rebounds per game this season, which is the second-best in the league. Gobert is -125 to go under 11.5 rebounds, but the Warriors' lack of size boosts his chances of going over with odds of -105.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are slight underdogs heading into the game against the Golden State Warriors. It's despite being on a six-game winning streak and the Warriors losing their last three contests.

The odds are likely to change if Steph Curry sits his first game of the season. The Timberwolves are playing great basketball for the Warriors to overcome them with or without Curry. It will bea test for Minnesota's coaching staff to make adjustments to counter possible changes from Warriors boss Steve Kerr.

The Timberwolves are likely to get the win and cover the spread, with the total score to go over. Nevertheless, the Warriors could break out of their slump in a moments notice.
