Golden State Warriors Form

Golden State enter this series having upset Houston in the opening round of the playoffs, winning a seven-game thriller.

The Warriors went 48-34 in the regular season and downed Memphis 121-116 in the Play-In Tournament to make it to the playoffs.

They then made a great start to the postseason with a 95-85 win in Houston, only to lose the second meeting 109-94.

That first victory gave Golden State an edge though, and they put themselves within one win of advancing when they recorded back-to-back home wins, 104-93 and 109-106.

The Warriors failed to take their first two chances to clinch, losing 131-116 on the road and 115-107 at home, but they would not be denied.

They booked their place in the Western Conference semi-finals with a 103-89 win in Houston.

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota go into this series having destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers’ championship dreams in five games.

The Timberwolves finished sixth in the Western Conference with a 49-33 regular-season record, making them underdogs for the series with the Lakers.

They made a perfect start though as they won 117-95 in Los Angeles, and although they lost the second meeting 94-85, they had gained an early edge.

Minnesota returned home following that loss to the Lakers and took command of the series with back-to-back wins.

The Timberwolves regained the series lead with a 116-104 victory, and then backed that up on Sunday as they beat LA 116-113.

They then completed the job on the road, as they downed the Lakers 103-96 in Los Angeles.

Verdict

It is no surprise to see Minnesota being made favorites at home, but for us the line is steep.

Golden State have repeatedly got the better of the Timberwolves in recent times and they have the line-ups that can limit Rudy Gobert’s damage, so give us the visitors and the points.
