Prediction
As long as Curry is out, I can’t back the Warriors. Minnesota completely dominated the Warriors in Game 2 and I can see much of the same here. Golden State had been playing solid defense, but the Timberwolves scorched them on Thursday. Minnesota has one of the best defenses in the league and should be able to contain Butler enough to earn the win and cover.
Pick: Timberwolves -5
