Game Preview
Golden State coach Steve Kerr hinted at the possibility of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green returning to action Friday as the Warriors face the Minnesota Timberwolves in San Francisco. This matchup kicks off a two-game set at the same venue, mirroring last year’s back-to-back battles, where Minnesota swept both games, highlighted by Draymond Green’s controversial headlock on Rudy Gobert, which earned him a five-game suspension.
The Warriors, fresh off snapping a five-game losing streak with a gritty 99-93 win over the Houston Rockets on Thursday, may have some reinforcements coming. Curry is dealing with sore knees, and Green is nursing a calf injury, with both listed as day-to-day. Their availability could play a pivotal role in shaping the odds for Friday’s clash.
In their Thursday victory, Jonathan Kuminga stepped up with a career-high 33 points, while Andrew Wiggins added 23 points and nine rebounds, despite playing on a sore right ankle. Wiggins’ determination drew praise from Kerr, who called him “Ironman” for his effort. Bettors should note that Golden State has now won 15 straight against Houston, a streak that offers hope as they face a formidable Timberwolves squad.
Minnesota enters this matchup riding high after holding their last three opponents—the Clippers (twice) and the Lakers—to 92 points or fewer. Their defense has been suffocating, helping the Timberwolves to consecutive blowout wins, including a 108-80 dismantling of the Clippers on Wednesday. Minnesota has also been a thorn in Golden State’s side, boasting a four-game winning streak against the Warriors, including a sweep of last season’s series.
For bettors, the Timberwolves’ recent form against Pacific Division opponents is worth noting. They’ve gone 3-1 in their last four games against teams in that division and have momentum as they aim to extend their dominance over the Warriors.
Guard Donte DiVincenzo, now with Minnesota, will return to San Francisco, where he spent last season with Golden State. His contributions to Minnesota’s defensive resurgence make him a player to watch, especially in a game that could hinge on stops and turnovers.
The Warriors’ fortunes may hinge on the availability of Curry and Green, but Minnesota’s lockdown defense and recent success against Golden State make them an appealing underdog or points-play option. Keep an eye on injury updates and consider the Timberwolves’ defensive edge as you lock in your wagers for this pivotal Western Conference clash.
