Timberwolves at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 120, Timberwolves 110
Moneyline
The Warriors are nearly unbeatable at home. They are 30-7 at Chase Center and have won 10 straight there. The Timberwolves are 16-20 on the road and have lost 5 straight on the road to the Warriors. But the line isn’t worth the action on the Warriors unless it is a leg of a parlay bet.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Warriors are even a good ATS bet at home as they are 25-11-1 ATS at home on the season. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. teams with losing road records like Minnesota, which is 17-19 ATS on the road.
BET WARRIORS -6.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Only 1 of the 3 games between the 2 teams this season has reached 240 total points. The Over is 4-0 in Minnesota’s last 4 games.
But the Under is 6-1-1 in the Warriors’ last 8 home games and 4-0-1 in their last 5 home games against teams with losing road records like Minnesota.
BET UNDER 239.5 (-110).
