The Minnesota Timberwolves will welcome the Golden State Warriors for the two sides' final regular season matchup. Over 10 games separate the two teams in the Western Conference with the Warriors in 10th trailing the third-placed Timberwolves. Minnesota have won the last three meetings with Golden State. Two of those games have come this season confirming they have secured the regular season spoils. They will now seek to confirm a clean sweep. Chris Finch’s men have won four of their last five games. They defeated the Cavaliers 104-91 at home to keep within 1.5 games of top spot in the West. Karl-Anthony Towns is still sidelined with a knee problem and will not be involved here. Jaylen Clark is also not available. The Timberwolves, who have compiled a 48-22 record, have averaged 110 points over their last three fixtures.

The Warriors seem like they will not be able to avoid the play-in. With 13 games left to play in the regular season, they are five games adrift of the top six. Steve Kerr’s men, who have won four titles under his tutelage, have compiled a 36-33 record. They have lost five times in their last eight games. Golden State were defeated 123-111 last time out at home by the Pacers. Moses Moody and Draymond Green both featured in the game but have 50/50 chances to suit up here due to injuries. The Warriors have lost more than they have won against fellow West teams. But as they have seen their scoring go up a notch recently, they will fancy their chances of a win here. They have averaged 120 points over their last three matches which is a two-point increase from their season average.
