Golden State Warriors Form

Golden State head back out on the road knowing that one more defeat will bring an end to their season.

The Warriors opened up this series on the road and made a dream start as they knocked off Minnesota, 99-88, but it has been all downhill since then.

With Stephen Curry sidelined they lost their second road game of the series, 117-93, before returning home to suffer back-to-back defeats.

Golden State were beaten 102-97 and 117-110, leaving them on the brink of elimination.

The Warriors Golden State went 48-34 in the regular season, and then beat Memphis 121-116 in the Play-In Tournament before battling past Houston in seven games in the first round.

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota head back home with the chance to wrap up the series thanks to back-to-back victories on the road.

The Timberwolves made a disappointing start to this series as they lost 99-88 at home to Golden State, but their response has been emphatic.

They knotted up the series with a 117-93 victory in Game 2, before heading out to the Bay Area for a highly successful road trip.

Minnesota beat Golden State 102-97 and 117-110, and that means they are now just one win away from the conference final.

The Timberwolves went 49-33 during the regular season, and eased through the first round of the playoffs by beating the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.

Verdict

Minnesota have all of the momentum on their side as they head home for Game 5.

We expect them to complete the job at the first time of asking, winning and covering against the Curry-less Warriors.
