The Warriors are coming into this game as a 5.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Timberwolves have been getting better in each of their recent games but they have also been getting very healthy and are pretty much back at full strength now. The Warriors have also been getting healthy though and they will have a lot of their starters back for this game. This is a revenge spot for the Warriors after being embarrassed by the T-Wolves in their last meeting when all of the stars were out for the warriors. Now that everyone is back, the Warriors will be looking for their revenge from that game not long ago. The best bet to place in this game is on the Warriors to cover the spread here at home.
