Warriors vs Timberwolves
The Pack smells blood in a splash-less Target Center night.

Golden State Warriors (48-34) VS Timberwolves (49-33)
May 14 2025 | 9:30 PM ET | Target Center, Minneapolis MN

Minnesota enters this one riding a strong wave of form, with three straight wins and a defence capable of clamping down when it matters most. Golden State, by contrast, stumbled heavily after winning game 1 of this series, having dropped games 2, 3, and 4. The Timberwolves’ frontcourt presence and switch-friendly defence give them a reliable formula for limiting Golden State’s perimeter stars without surrendering easy looks inside.
With playoff this series all but lost for the Warriors, Minnesota has the motivation and the more complete roster to get it done. The moneyline may not offer huge returns, but it aligns with the high win probability.

Minnesota’s elite defence and Golden State’s underperforming rotation set the tone for what’s likely to be a grind-it-out affair. With the Warriors managing an injury to their start scorer, offensive fireworks may be limited. The Timberwolves have leaned heavily on their defensive identity during their recent win streak, and the projected pace sits well below league average.
Even with high-usage scorers on both rosters, the expected tempo and the emphasis on half-court execution suggest a lower-scoring game. If both benches skew toward defensive roles and the paint stays crowded, the Under 202 holds solid value in this matchup.

Golden State on paper the better squad, paired with their veteran scoring options, makes grabbing the points a sharp play. Even with some injury concerns, the Warriors have shown they can keep games close behind efficient guard play and spacing that challenges Minnesota’s frontcourt mobility. The Timberwolves, while defensively sound, are navigating their own availability issues and have cooled off after a strong stretch.
With the series all but over, the Warriors need to grab a win tonight, which could could set a fire under their squad to take the series back home for game 6. That makes double-digit insurance all the more attractive in what projects as a tight contest.
