Timberwolves at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 125, Timberwolves 116
Moneyline
PASS.
The Warriors (-140) should win, but there is no need to buy the points when Golden State should win by multiple possessions. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -2.5 (-108).
Golden State is 14-11-1 ATS as a home favorite and Minnesota is 7-10 ATS as an away underdog. The Warriors should be motivated to get revenge after blowing a 14-point 4th-quarter lead vs. the Timberwolves in the Feb. 1 meeting. Golden State has won its last 11 home games vs. Minnesota and will likely cover the short spread with another win Sunday.
Over/Under
BET OVER 233.5 (-110).
The Over is 5-2-1 in Minnesota’s last 8 games and 4-0 in the Timberwolves’ last 4 games on the road. The Over has hit in 8 of the last 9 meetings between these teams and is 5-1-1 in Golden State’s last 7 games after a win.
