Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Game 5 (May 14) | 2025 NBA Playoffs

The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves face off in Game 5 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs West semis on Wednesday. The Timberwolves have an opportunity to end their counterparts' season at home after taking a 3-1 lead in the series by winning consecutive games at the Chase Center.

With Steph Curry sidelined for the fourth straight contest, Minnesota couldn't have asked for a better chance to put this series to bed. Anthony Edwards and Co. have had the upper hand in this matchup on paper and have only improved their stock in Curry's absence.

Jimmy Butler hasn't posed the threat expected as a No. 1 option, and the rest haven't stepped up as expected. In the meantime. Edwards has found his rhythm, and so have the other Timberwolves players who were struggling to get going offensively.

With back-to-back 30-point outings on the road, Edwards seems unstoppable at the moment, and the Warriors don't have a response for him at the moment. Julius Randle has also figured out a way to hone in on his strengths and take advantage of the Warriors' weak paint defense.
