Golden State WarriorsÂ
The Golden State Warriors have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall. The Warriors will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling just short to the Raptors in a 104-101 road defeat on Monday. Stephen Curry led the team with 26 points and seven assists, Andrew Wiggins added 20 points while Dennis Schroder chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Warriors shot just 39 percent from the field and 16 of 46 from the 3-point line as they controlled most of the contest to take the lead late into the fourth quarter before the Raptors closed the final 2:07 on a 6-0 run to snatch the game from the Warriors at the end.Â
Minnesota TimberwolvesÂ
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in great shape as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Wizards in a 120-106 road win on Monday. Anthony Edwards led the team with 41 points and seven assists, Julius Randle added 20 points with 10 rebounds and three assists while Donte DiVincenzo chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 49 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line. The Timberwolves kept their noses in front of the Wizards for three close quarters, before they finally broke free with 38 points in the fourth quarter to make it a blowout win in the end. The Wolves will meet the Knicks after this game.

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Warriors are still keeping eyes on Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis, who are both questionable, while the Timberwolves are coming in with the same squad. The Warriors haven’t been playing anywhere near their best lately, they are banged up, and they just got lost to the ice-cold Raptors, who had won just one of their last 17 games before that meeting. The Timberwolves aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders, but they are playing well enough to get the win and cover at this short line at home.
