What to Know

The Golden State Warriors need to shore up a defense that is allowing 118.02 points per game before their contest Wednesday. Their road trip will continue as they head to Target Center at 8 p.m. ET to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Minnesota likes a good challenge.

The Dubs bagged a 128-120 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Point guard Stephen Curry continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, shooting 8-for-14 from downtown and almost finishing with a triple-double on 38 points, 12 assists, and eight boards. Chef Curry's night made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 34 points.

Meanwhile, Minnesota fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 118-111. One thing holding the Timberwolves back was the mediocre play of point guard D'Angelo Russell, who did not have his best game: he played for 40 minutes with 4-for-16 shooting.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Golden State is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Golden State's win lifted them to 26-24 while Minnesota's defeat dropped them down to 27-26. We'll see if Golden State can repeat their recent success or if Minnesota bounces back and reverse their fortune.
