Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Injury Report

The Warriors will be without Al Horford and Draymond Green.

The Timberwolves will be without Mike Conley. Anthony Edwards is questionable with a foot issue.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Timberwolves have won the last 4 games against the Warriors, so there’s reason to consider the points. The problem is we’re seeing Edwards on the injury report, and that’s not ideal. Also, the Warriors are an old team but has had several days of rest, which should lead to fresh legs ready to go. Draymond is out, but the return of Curry is expected. This is also a revenge spot for the Warriors, as the last them they faced the Timberwolves, they were being sent home in the playoffs. The line is reasonable. At home, I’ll side with the Warriors.
