Afternoon games have sluggish starts in the first place. But Target Center today may be empty. Most local Minnesota fans would like today’s game postponed. The Timberwolves themselves are human. They see what happened in their city today, two miles from Target Center. Their focus may struggle early, too. Expect this game to be clunky, for human reasons.
The Warriors' defense is broken without Jimmy Butler. The Timberwolves' massive frontcourt will bully a smaller, injury-riddled Warriors rotation. Golden State has no physical answer for Anthony Edwards, and I expect Minnesota to dominate the paint and cover the spread comfortably.
