Let’s get into it!
Minnesota Timberwolves 1-10 win margin (+290)
Karl-Anthony Towns over 3.5 assists (-128)
Anthony Edwards over 22.5 points (+100)
Parlay odds: +1003
Minnesota Timberwolves 1-10 win margin (+290)
The Timberwolves have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this game following an impressive win at Portland 109-107. They beat the Warriors by 20 points in the first meeting of the season played in Minnesota and although they are underdogs this time I don’t think people should count them out that easily. They’ve covered the spread 13 times in 24 road games this season, and in their last 8 games against Western Conference teams they are a very solid 6-2 SU. They’ve also covered in 6 games in a row against Pacific Division opponents and with Stephen Curry struggling with his shooting right now, this might be the best chance of winning at Golden State they’ve had in years.
Check out our full game preview for Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors
Karl-Anthony Towns over 3.5 assists (-128)
Karl-Anthony Towns is the leader of the Timberwolves, and he has had some really big games against the Warriors lately. Getting to 4 assists in this one shouldn’t be much of a problem, as he has done so in all of his last 6 games against Golden State. He is averaging 3.6 per game for the season and that number has increased to 3.8 per game in January. Just 2 games ago he had a 7-assist game at Atlanta and with Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell shooting well from the field lately, there are plenty of options to pass the ball to on offense. The projected total has been set at 228 points, which means we could be in for a high-scoring game and if that is the case everyone’s numbers will go up a little.
Anthony Edwards over 22.5 points (+100)
No Draymond Green is going to make life so much easier for Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves. Sure, there’s still Andrew Wiggins to deal with on offense, but he has been unstoppable over the last 10 games, averaging almost 24 points per game. Against the Warriors this season in 2 games he’s averaging 28.5 points per game while shooting an incredible 54% from the field and 52% from 3-point land. He’s coming off a 40-point performance in the win over Portland and on the road this season he is scoring 24.5 points per game, almost 4 points more than he averages at Target Center. His 3-point shot has been falling lately — in the past 3 games he has scored at least 4 of them from distance and in 2 straight he has gone over 22.5 points easily.
