NBA Best Bets and Bold Predictions: Timberwolves vs. Warriors

Golden State is favored to beat Minnesota at home and end its three-game losing streak Tuesday night.

The Timberwolves and Warriors meet again in San Francisco on Tuesday night, two days after Minnesota beat Golden State for its sixth straight win.

Stephen Curry led all scorers with 38 points in Sunday’s 116–110 loss, but Anthony Edwards’ 33 points helped the T-Wolves hold off a fourth-quarter comeback bid by the Dubs. Minnesota (7–2) has been one of the biggest surprises through the first few weeks of the NBA season with the third-best record in the West and the No. 1 defensive rating in the league. Golden State (6–5) was off to a similarly strong start before dropping four of its last five.

Few teams were tougher to beat at home than the Warriors last year, but they’re off to a 1–3 start at Chase Center so far.

Bold Prediction: Stephen Curry Hits 6+ Threes

Edwards has stuffed the stat sheet through nine games. His rebound and assist numbers — not to mention his top-10 scoring average — are currently career-highs and he’s had 11 or more combined boards and dimes in all but two games this season. Edwards corralled six rebounds and dished six assists Sunday against the Warriors and he’s positioned to repeat those figures, especially with how often he’s on the floor.

Curry connected on five-of-13 threes last time out against the league’s best three-point defense and he’s averaging 5.6 makes from deep on the year. He’s hit six or more three pointers more often than not this season and he’s taking a league-high 12.6 per game. In what’s projected to be a tight game against a fellow Western Conference contender, look for Curry to get the best of Minnesota’s tough perimeter defense and go over his three-point prop at plus odds.
