Warriors vs Timberwolves
Cold-weather Wolves ready to chill Curry’s comeback hopes

Timberwolves (49-33) VS Golden State Warriors (48-34)
12 May 2025 | 10:00 PM ET | Target Center, Minneapolis

Minnesota heads into this matchup taking game 2 and 3 of the series and are looking great, while Golden State has stumbled in back-to-back outings and continues to lean heavily on its veteran core amid roster uncertainty. The Timberwolves have owned the interior in previous meetings this season, using their size to control the boards and limit second-chance opportunities for the Warriors. With game 4 seeming like it could be the effective series winner for the Timberwolves, they're in a great position to take it back home for game 5 and win it in front of their fans.
Even with the odds not offering much in the way of a payout, the value lies in stability. Minnesota’s physicality, balanced scoring, and dominance on the glass should be enough to handle a Warriors team stretched thin. This is a favorite worth backing, making it a solid B grade play.

Minnesota enters on a two-game streak with one of the league’s top post-break defences, while Golden State faces tempo and injury concerns—especially with their lead scorer recently limited and the team struggling when held below 105. Both squads are fighting for what could be a pivotal game 4, and that usually drags pace and scoring way down. Historical trends and matchup data point toward a half-court grind rather than an open-floor duel, especially with both sides expected to tighten rotations.
This series feels like it could have been a Western Conference Final where defense and clock control dictate flow. With the number sitting just above 200, the Under holds strong appeal given the stakes and recent scoring ceilings. It's a solid B grade—less about fireworks, more about grit.

Golden State rolls into this pivotal 2nd round clash needing to take game 4 at home to reset the series, while Minnesota can feasibly take their foot off the gas a bit tonight, not stictly needing a win. The Timberwolves are managing multiple rotation injuries that have weakened their perimeter defence, while the Warriors enter with a relatively clean bill of health and a core group familiar with pressure moments. With both teams playing to see who will face the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, each possession will carry weight, and the road team’s experience in high-leverage spots could prove decisive.
Given the current form, health advantage, and favorable historical trends, taking the five points with Golden State feels like a smart play. They’ve handled these road challenges well in the past, and this one sets up no differently. This one lands at a solid B grade—backed by rhythm, depth, and timing.
