The Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors is the second game of the NBA's playoff slate for Monday. It is a pivotal Game 4 showdown between a pair of teams looking to keep their postseason dreams alive.

After knocking off the Houston Rockets in round one, the Warriors looked like a team capable of being a dark horse contender in the West. However, things have taken a turn for the worse in the semifinal round. Early in Game 1, Steph Curry exited with a hamstring injury and has yet to return. As of now, the earliest the former MVP is expected to be back is Game 6.

Anthony Edwards and company have taken advantage of this, jumping out to a 2-1 lead. They have a chance to take a commanding lead Monday in Game 4, leaving Golden State with minimal hope.

Picking up a second straight win on the road will be tough, but the Timberwolves will attempt to do so in hopes of returning home with a chance to end things.
