The current betting odds have the Timberwolves listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Timberwolves have looked really good in their games this season with their 40-26 record overall which has them right in the top half of the West. They have been a good road team too with their 18-13 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 32-33 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They have looked a lot better on their home court though with their 19-14 home record this season. The Warriors had a good start to the NBA season and were looking like a competitive team in the West for most of the season, but injuries to Butler and Curry have really derailed their season now. They are no longer a contender in the West and will be lucky to even make the playoffs now as they find themselves fighting for the play-in tournament. They have looked terrible lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games, slipping down the standings in the West quickly, and they have lost 3 games in a row now too. They have been losing to some really good teams, but they are off a home loss in OT to the Bulls in their last one. They have had a lot of trouble lately and even though the Timberwolves haven't looked any better in their last few games, they are still the more talented team in their current state. The Timberwolves have lost 3 games in a row now too, but they are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and have been healthy. They will be looking to bounce back against a banged up Warriors team that has been limping to the finish line lately, so look for the Timberwolves to bounce back with a big win after the way they lost to the Clippers terribly in their last one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.

"We know we're a good team. It feels like we’re a million miles away from where we were a week ago, but we're not. Just gotta regroup and win the next game." - Chris Finch after his team’s loss against the LA Clippers in their game on Wednesday.

“Both very winnable games. We had the lead late tonight, obviously one we should have had. But this is how the NBA is, especially when you’re beaten up. You’re not going to blow anybody out. Games are going to be tight. You got to finish, and we didn’t finish either of the last two nights.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s loss against the Bulls in their game on Tuesday.
