Warriors at Timberwolves picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 121, Timberwolves 119
Moneyline
With Edwards out, I look for Curry to be the X-factor and have a big game. The Wolves are good in interior defense, but their perimeter defense is lacking with Ant Man out.
Take the WARRIORS +140.
Against the spread
You can double up with Warriors +3.5 (-105) here if you want some insurance, but we're taking the value on the ML.
PASS.
Over/Under
Both teams can score in bunches, and Golden State's defense is really meh. The Dubs are 3-1 O/U and Minnesota is 1-3. I look for a lot of triples thrown up on both sides, and we're going OVER 227.5 (-110).
Best prop bet
Take Wolves F JONATHAN KUMINGA OVER 14.5 POINTS (-130).
He's facing his former team, and someone will need to step up the scoring with Edwards out.
