The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves are set to face off in a crucial Western Conference matchup on Sunday. Both teams are sitting at an even .500 in the standings, and both teams are looking to avoid the play-in tournament with a late-season push into the top-six.

Ahead of Sunday's matchup, both teams have made updates to their initial injury reports. For the Warriors, Draymond Green has been downgraded from questionable to out. For the Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert has been downgraded from available to questionable, as he is dealing with an illness.

With Gobert and Green being the two defensive anchors for their teams, this is a major development for both sides. While Gobert has not yet been ruled out, Green will not play in this game, putting the Warriors at an even greater disadvantage with Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins already out.

As previously mentioned, this is a major game for both teams. Every matchup in the Western Conference seems to have major seeding implications at this point in the year, and this Warriors vs. Timberwolves matchup is no exception. With both teams being down key pieces, it will be on players like Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, Anthony Edwards, and others to step up for their respective teams.

The Warriors got a big game from Klay Thompson against the Rockets, and will hope for more of the same in this one.
