After proving they’re ready for big things by eliminating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, the Minnesota Timberwolves are now going after another NBA legend, Stephen Curry, and his Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Wolves -7

While the Timberwolves’ victory over the Lakers in five games was impressive, the Warriors are no slouches either, as they beat a strong, young Houston Rockets team in seven games, with that last game ending 89-103. However, things are different now, as the Wolves do have playoff experience and are a much more complete team, with a great offense led by Anthony Edwards and a solid defense that has Rudy Gobert as a pillar. The Wolves have many more days of rest and will be at home, so we expect them to take the victory in this first game of the series.

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Under 210.5

The Wolves have a productive offense, but their main weapon has been defense, which even limited the Lakers to under 100 points in three games of their previous series, and with the Warriors being very inconsistent on offense, especially away from home, they will have trouble producing many points. The Warriors also tend to be very strong on defense with Jimmy Butler on the court, so we expect a low-scoring game.

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

While the Warriors have shown they know how to play these types of games with Curry, Butler, and Draymond Green, the Wolves are still a far superior team, with an unstoppable Edwards and a defense that is one of the best in the league, so the best option is to expect the home team to take a comfortable victory here.
