Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors preview

Minnesota’s four straight wins have come against playoff contenders in the Warriors, LA Lakers and LA Clippers (twice). After questions were raised on the chemistry between Julius Randle and Edwards, the team responded positively to put those doubts behind it.

However, the T-Wolves are far from where they would like to be. They have one of the deepest squads in the conference and need to keep winning to move into the upper echelon of the rankings.

Golden State is on the opposite spectrum in terms of current play as it has won just one of its past seven games. Curry and Draymond Green have missed time but even with them on the Starting 5, the team has struggled offensively.

There have been constant talks about the Warriors targeting a second star, and it seems to be a necessity now rather than a safety. Unless Steph Curry has a star running mate, the Warriors’ tumble in the standings could continue for the foreseeable future.

Anthony Edwards’ points total is set at 24.5. After a 30-point performance on Friday, expect the Warriors to restrict his points total under 24.5 points.

Steph Curry’s point total is set at 23.5. He struggled to get going in the last game, so expect him to have a breakout game on Sunday.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The oddsmakers anticipate this to be a close game with very less dividing the two teams. After a blowout loss, we expect coach Steve Kerr to make the necessary changes and guide the Warriors to a win. This should be a high-scoring game with the team total going past 216 points.
