The Golden State Warriors have been the class of the NBA for quite some time and possess four all-stars in the starting lineup. The Minnesota Timberwolves are the new kids on the block in the Western Conference and occupy the conference’s fourth spot ahead of tonight’s meeting with the Dubs in Oakland.
- The Timberwolves are 6-2 SU and ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning records.
- The total has gone UNDER in four of the Timberwolves’ last five games against the Warriors.
- The Warriors are 46-8 SU in their last 54 games at home.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were all voted into the all-star game in what’s been another impressive campaign for Golden State. Curry drained eight three-pointers and scored 32 points in Monday’s 123-112 triumph over the New York Knicks, leaving him two points shy of becoming the fifth player in franchise history to reach 14,000 points. Durant dished out a career-best 14 assists while scoring a season-low 14 in the contest.
Minnesota has won seven of its last 10 games, but one of the defeats in that span came on Wednesday when the defense allowed 123 points in a road loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wolves allowed Portland to go 17-for-31 from downtown – a concerning trend ahead of the meeting with the trey-happy Warriors and on the second half of a back-to-back set. Jimmy Butler has missed the past three games due to a knee injury and is questionable to play tonight.
The T-Wolves have historically been a brutal straight-up play when these teams collide, as Minnesota is 3-18 SU in its last 21 vs the Warriors.
