Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
With this series moving to Golden State, Minnesota is a much more reasonable favorite. The Timberwolves dominated the Warriors in every area of Game 2 and should be able to have similar success in Game 3.
Especially with Curry being ruled out for this game as well, the Warriors do not seem to have any answer and a couple of days off will not likely change much. Because this game is being played in Golden State, the Warriors should be able to put together a better performance, but eventually, Anthony Edwards and the rest of this loaded Timberwolves’ lineup will be too much for the the Warriors to handle.
For that reason, our Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is Minnesota Timberwolves -5.Jackpot Pools
