Warriors vs. Timberwolves Prediction & Pick

The Timberwolves have been without leading scorer Anthony Edwards (24.7 points per game) for each of the last three games as he tends to an ankle injury. He is listed as questionable and his status will likely be determined in pregame warmups. With or without Edwards, Minnesota is in for a battle.

Golden State has posted a stellar 30-7 record inside the Chase Center this season as it is averaging 119.6 points per game (No. 7 in NBA) and allowing an opponent shooting percentage of just 45.0% in home games (No. 3 in NBA). A goal of staying out of the play-in tournament will motivate the Warriors.

Golden State has won 13 of its last 16 home games played on a Sunday, so back the Warriors here.

Final Score Prediction: Warriors: 124 | Timberwolves: 114

Warriors vs. Timberwolves Best Bet

There's a major stylistic difference in this game. Minnesota thrives when facing teams that cannot defend the rim, but Golden State ranks 12th in opponent two-point percentage (54.1%). The Warriors excel from long range and the Timberwolves rank 26th in opponent three-point percentage (37.3%).

That edge will help the Warriors cruise to a big win on Sunday. Golden State is a perfect 9-0 against the spread (ATS) in its last nine home games overall and 6-0 ATS in its last six home games against Minnesota. The Timberwolves are only 17-19 ATS across its 36 games away from home this year.

Bet: Golden State Warriors -7 (-110)
