Warriors at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 109, Warriors 105

Moneyline

The Warriors have been very good on the road. They are 18-13 and have won 10 of their last 12 on the road.

The T-wolves are 24-9 at home but have lost 3 of their last 5 home games. They are 27-17 against teams with winning records while Golden State is 16-25 against winning teams.

You can bet the T-wolves -140 but with only a 2.5-point spread, you can get slightly better odds on an ATS wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

Only 1 of the Wolves’ last 16 wins has been by fewer than 3 points while the Warriors’ last 9 losses have been by 3 points or more.

Golden State, though, does have the best ATS road record in the league at 22-10. They are 11-6 ATS as road dogs.

The T-wolves are 12-15-2 ATS as home favorites, but considering the Warriors’ struggles against teams with winning records and the fact the T-wolves have won only once in their last 16 victories by fewer than 3 points, it’s hard to pick the Warriors to cover.

BET TIMBERWOLVES -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The total in their 2 previous meetings were 226 and 205.

The T-wolves have had 4 of their last 5 games stay below 220 total points while 4 straight games for the Warriors have had 220 or more.

Minnesota has held opponents to 104 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5.

BET UNDER 219.5 (-105).
