Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

Oddsmakers have flipped after having the Warriors favored in the Friday game against the Timberwolves. The Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a 17-point victory and made Vegas look silly. I’m going to double-dip with the Timberwolves, a team that’s slowly starting to put things together with four straight wins and a defense that’s allowed 92 or fewer points in all four of those wins. The Timberwolves have won 5 straight games against the Warriors and 7 of the last 10 games overall. The Warriors haven’t looked good in these last couple of weeks, and I’m sure the last thing they want to see is this Minnesota defensive pressure. I’ll lay the bucket. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves -1.5
