The Golden State Warriors (14-12) take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-12) Saturday. Tip-off from Target Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Warriors vs. Timberwolves odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Tied 1-1
The Dubs suffered their worst loss of the season, taking a 144-93 L to the chin by the Memphis Grizzlies Thursday. G Stephen Curry had one of the worst games of his career with just 2 points on 0-for-7 from the field and 0-for-6 beyond the arc. The Warriors have lost 3 straight and are just 2-8 over the last 10.
The Wolves were tamed by New York Knicks C Karl-Anthony Towns and his new teammates 133-107 Wednesday. The Wolves were 3.5-point favorites in that debacle. F Julius Randle led the team with 24 points, but G Anthony Edwards didn’t have the rizz. He had 17 points, 7 dimes and 5 boards in a modest performance. The Wolves are 6-2 in their last 8.

Warriors at Timberwolves picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 118, Warriors 116
Moneyline
These teams split a 2-game set at Chase Center earlier this month. I want to side with Golden State here after it got embarrassed, allowing Memphis to drop a franchise-record 27 three-pointers. I can’t quite get there, though.
I’ll take it on the spread instead and roll with STEPHEN CURRY OVER 22.5 POINTS (-140). He had 23 and 30 in the first 2 meetings.

Against the spread
Go with WARRIORS +3.5 (-115) here. I look for a spirited effort from them after their horrific trip walkin’ in Memphis. It’s a good matchup for F Jonathan Kuminga, who has tried to lure C Rudy Gobert out to the perimeter in each matchup. Kuminga went 1-for-4 from 3-point land in both games. If an Over 0.5 threes prop becomes available for Kuminga, take that, too.
Over/Under
This one is going Over. Ant-Man got sonned by KAT, and Steph got a taste of his own medicine in each team’s most-recent strife. The Over is 3-2 in the last 5 matchups and 1-1 this season.
Take the OVER 214.5 (-115).
