The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors run it back for a second straight meeting Monday.
Golden State stifled Minnesota in a 111-85 win Sunday, with T-Wolves star Anthony Edwards as the lone bright spot for the home side. He poured in 32 points in the loss, but my Warriors vs. Timberwolves predictions aren’t as bullish on Edwards tonight.
Here are my best NBA picks for January 26.
Warriors vs Timberwolves predictionWarriors vs Timberwolves best bet: Anthony Edwards Under 30.5 points (-120)
The Minnesota Timberwolves were mired in an offensive funk Sunday. Anthony Edwards shot 13-for-20 from the floor while the rest of the Timberwolves combined to go just 17-for-59 (29%).
The loss extended Minnesota’s slide to five games and has the media questioning the T-Wolves’ focus with the All-Star break about two weeks away. Edwards made no excuses and called out his team for their lack of effort.
The second of back-to-back outings is tough enough when you’re not facing a defense as sound as the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State sits sixth in advanced defensive rating, and if Minnesota is going to bounce back, it will need a team effort — not just a solo show from Ant.
He’s tried to carry the team during this losing streak, averaging more than 36 points in his last four games since missing two outings due to a foot injury. But based on projections, this is a solid “buyback” spot on the Under for his scoring output.
Monday’s player models top out at 28.4 points from Edwards, with forecasts as low as 25.8. My number boils down to 27.4 points from the Minny superstar, which should have the Under 30.5 points priced closer to -200.
Warriors vs Timberwolves same-game parlayCurry went 3-for-10 from beyond the arc in only 28 minutes last night. Given his usual playing time, he’s projected for five triples.
Gobert logged only 24 minutes on Sunday, but he can beat up an undersized Golden State frontcourt.
