Minnesota have covered in 5 of their last 6 wins over the Warriors
Golden State Warriors have failed to cover in 9 of their last 12 road games

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota head out on the road for the first time in the series having rebounded from a Game 1 loss.

The Timberwolves entered this conference semi-final with home advantage, but surrendered that in the very first game as they lost 99-88 to Golden State.

They rebounded in the next meeting though, winning 117-93, and that means they will play at least one more game at home.

Minnesota went 49-33 during the regular season, and eased through the first round of the playoffs by beating the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.

The Timberwolves won 117-95 in LA to start the series, and then responded to a 94-85 loss with 116-104, 116-113 and 103-96 victories to advance.

Golden State Warriors Form

Golden State return home in a decent position, having won one of their two road games in Minnesota to start this series.

The Warriors won the series opener 99-88 despite losing Stephen Curry to injury, but they were unable to back that up as they then lost 117-93 in Game 2.

They went 48-34 in the regular season and beat Memphis 121-116 in the Play-In Tournament to secure their place in the playoffs.

Golden State split two road games in Houston to open the first round series, winning 95-85 and losing 109-94, and then took control with 104-93 and 109-106 wins at home.

The Warriors wasted chances to clinch at they lost 131-116 on the road and 115-107 at home, but they finally got the job done in Game 7 thanks to a 103-89 victory.

Verdict

MIN Timberwolves @ GS Warriors - Game 3

Minnesota’s response to the Game 1 loss was emphatic and we expect them to back that up.

The Timberwolves have a strong recent track record in the Bay Area, and the Warriors are severely weakened by the ongoing absence of Stephen Curry.
