Timberwolves at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 118, Timberwolves 113
Moneyline
BET WARRIORS (-122).
The Warriors are 1-2 at home this season, but they were among the best teams in the NBA at home last season, with a similar roster. Golden State was 37-10 at the Chase Center a year ago. It is also coming off a loss in which it shot just 41% from the field. The Dubs should be able to bounce back.
For the Wolves, this is their 1st time playing 2 games in a row on the road this season, and they are 1-2 away from home. Minnesota may also be without Edwards, or he may be less than 100%.
The Dubs have proven to be a good home team over the last few seasons, while the Wolves have struggled away. With this value, back WARRIORS (-122).
Against the spread
PASS.
This could be a close one, and given the Warriors' success at home in recent years, they should win. With these odds, take the moneyline over the spread.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 220.5 (-110).
The Wolves are 4-4 O/U on the season but have gone Over in 3 straight games and have scored at least 114 in each of those, also allowing 100 or more in each.
The Warriors are 4-6 O/U but are 2-1 O/U over their last 3 and have scored at least 110 in 2 of their last 3. Golden State ranks 9th in offensive rating, so it should be able to put the Wolves' league-best defensive rating to the test.
Considering recent trends, back OVER 223.5 (-110).
