Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors - Game Prediction

Minnesota is 27-18 despite losing four straight games, while Golden State comes into the match with a 25-21 record following consecutive losses. Due to Steph Curry's doubtful status on the Warriors' injury report, the Wolves are the favorites on Sunday night. The Warriors could lose their place in the Western Conference play-in tournament discussion due to Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury.

The NBA postponed yesterday's game because of another shooting involving ICE, thus the Warriors and Timberwolves will play back-to-back games on Sunday and Monday. Curry's right knee pain has led to his listing as questionable. His availability would have a big influence on Golden State's offensive spacing because he averages 27.4 points per game and shoots 39.2 percent from three.
