The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken advantage of Stephen Curry’s injury and are now up 2-1 in the series against the Golden State Warriors, who will be looking for a win at home before returning to the road.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors: Warriors +6

Even without their main star, Curry, the Warriors fought hard until the end in Game 4 and lost by just 102-97 after losing the last quarter 33-24. Aside from their great defensive work, the Warriors had an excellent offensive performance from Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga, who scored 33 and 30 points, respectively. For their part, the Wolves struggled more than expected, and only three of their players exceeded 10 points, including an Anthony Edwards who scored 36 points. The Warriors are always a team that fights, especially at home, so I expect them to cover a +6 handicap.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors: Under 201

If the Warriors want to win this game without Curry, their defense must be perfect, and they almost achieved it in Game 3, defending superbly in all quarters except the last, but with Steve Kerr, it is likely that they have already fixed the problems they had. For their part, the main strength of the Wolves is the defense, which is among the best in the league, and without Curry on the court, they will have less work to do. Therefore, we expect a game with few points.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

Unlike what many would think, even without Curry, the Warriors can be a difficult team to beat and will fight until the end, led by a Butler who always plays well in the playoffs and some substitute players who will want to be protagonists. Therefore, we are confident that the Warriors will not lose easily in a low-scoring game.
