Timberwolves 116, Warriors 104

PASS on the money line.

The Warriors are without too many key players to assume theyll pull off the road upset. For the sake of value on the Timberwolves, Id prefer to bet the spread.

BET on the TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-112).

The Warriors are just too injured at the moment.

Theyre the significantly better team at full strength, but the Warriors will be down three-time All-Star and DPOY candidate Draymond Greenand MVP candidate Stephen Curry.Its just too much to overcome.

The Wolves, on the other hand, have won 4 of their last 6. With defensive-minded Patrick Beverleylikely going to be on Jordan Poole, one of the Warriors premier scorers, Ill take the Wolves and the points.

The Warriors are 3-5 without Green on the court this season.

LEAN to the OVER 215.5 (-115).

The Warriors key defensive-minded players will be sidelined.

Payton II will be playing limited minutes it appears if he does take the court. Without Payton II or Green, Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards should be able to have their way.

That said, the Dubs league-best defense wont be as dominant. The Wolves Over has also hit in 3 of their last 4. The Warriors Over has hit in 2 of their last 3 and in 5 of their last 10.
