Top Performers
Stephen Curry has been the leader for Golden State throughout this season. Curry is averaging 25.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Andrew Wiggins has averaged 17.6 points per game. Klay Thompson is averaging 17.1 points per game. Jordan Poole has averaged 16.1 points to round out the lineup this season.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have been the leaders for the Timberwolves. Towns has averaged 24.2 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Edwards is averaging 21.4 points per game. D’Angelo Russell has averaged 19.4 points and 6.9 assists per game. Malik Beasley rounds out the lineup, averaging 12 points per game.
These two teams have been led by their stars throughout this season. The Warriors have had a bit better depth in their lineup. Golden State is still missing Draymond Green, which hurts their lineup a bit. Klay Thompson is questionable in this game. If either team can have some players step up in this one, it could be enough for the win.
Pick Overview
These two teams have been strong throughout this season and will look for a big win on Tuesday night. Golden State has been the better team and is coming off an extra day of rest. The Timberwolves earned a big win in Cleveland on Monday night and I think it will lead to a slower start in this one. If the Warriors can come out fast, I like their chances to earn the win on the road.
BetOnline has Golden State listed as a -1 against the spread in this one. This gives a very slight edge to the Warriors on the road. I agree with this line as Golden State has been the better overall team and has the extra day of rest. Minnesota is coming off a big win, but I think this will be a tough matchup. As slight favorites, I really like the value on the Warriors.
