The Warriors have recently been battling for the top spot in the conference, but a series of losses has dropped them to fifth place. In their last meeting, the team won against Houston (99:93), showing a more careful style of play. Jonathan Kuminga scored 33 points, becoming the best player of the game.
The absence of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green has a major impact on the team offensive potential. However, the Warriors are always a threat on their home court. A win against Minnesota could help them strengthen their position.

1.78Tip and bets
Golden State will enter the home court as a favorite, but given the injuries to key players, including Stephen Curry, the team will clearly not be as dangerous in attack as it was with him. Minnesota has won three games in a row against not the easiest opponents and is ready to continue in the same spirit.
The "Warriors" are traditionally strong on their home court, which makes the match tense and unpredictable. In our opinion, the guests have a chance to take advantage of the opponent weaknesses and get another victory.
Our prediction is a Minnesota win, taking into account overtime at 2:00
Bet on total
With Stephen Curry out, Golden State offensive output has been significantly reduced. Minnesota, while looking more dangerous, could face a tough defense. The game will likely be played with an emphasis on defense, and the overall total will be lower.
Forecast - total under 223 points for 1.73
Bet on statistics
The Warriors are noticeably lacking in attack dynamics without a leader, which is reflected in the game under the opponent basket. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to show high efficiency, especially against confident Minnesota. The team individual total will most likely remain lower than expected.
Prediction - Golden State individual total under 112 points for 1.77
