This looks like an excellent opportunity to fade the Golden State Warriors after their upset win over Houston last night. Snapping a five-game losing streak might relieve some pressure, but it also sets them up for a potential letdown. The Minnesota Timberwolves, meanwhile, are finding their stride with three straight wins following a rough patch, and they have the momentum to take advantage here.

Even if Stephen Curry and Draymond Green return for Golden State, the Wolves bring enough firepower and defensive focus to cover the spread.

I also lean toward the under, expecting both teams to prioritize defense in their first clash of the season, especially with the unique setup of a two-game, same-site series over three days. This has the makings of a gritty, hard-fought contest.

3% PLAY ON THE UNDER.
