Golden State at Minnesota

Something has to give here. The Golden State has yet to win since losing Jimmy Butler to a torn ACL. Butler was averaging 20.0 points and 4.9 assists. Jonathan Kuminga won't play today either due to knee soreness. He was averaging 15 points a game during the past two games, coming off the bench. The Timberwolves are out to snap a four-game losing streak. The two teams meet again on Monday, so expect a defensive tone to be set here with both teams in real need of a victory. The Warriors rely on their outside shooting. Minnesota has the seventh-best defensive field goal percentage and is above average in 3-point defense. Bad news for Stephen Curry. Golden State has run into some hot offensive teams lately. The Warriors' defense is better than it has shown recently, ranking 10th and giving up an average of 114.2 points per game. Take the UNDER.
