Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
I’ve faded the Minnesota Timberwolves a lot this season, as they’re just not the same team they were last spring. However, the Timberwolves have won 3 straight games, and they have the rest advantage here. I’m assuming Curry and Draymond are back, which is why this line is leaning toward the Warriors. Still, the value is with the Timberwolves and the free bucket given this successful week and the rest edge. The Timberwolves have also won 4 straight games against the Warriors and 7 of the last 10 games overall. A little too much love toward the Warriors with this line.Â
