Through 3 Quarters

The point spread is against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but thus far the points are on their side. Sitting on a score of 96-87, they have looked like the better team out there today, but there’s still one more quarter to play.

Center Karl-Anthony Towns has led the way so far for Minnesota, as he has 31 points in addition to eight rebounds. One thing to keep an eye out for is Jaden McDaniels’ foul situation as he currently sits at four.

The Golden State Warriors have been led by point guard Stephen Curry, who so far has 31 points and four assists along with four boards. A double-double would be Chef Curry’s third in a row.

What to Know

The Minnesota Timberwolves may be playing at home on Tuesday, but the experts are forecasting a three-point loss. They will square off against the Golden State Warriors at 8 p.m. ET at Target Center. The Timberwolves are out to stop a five-game streak of losses at home.

Minnesota didn’t have too much breathing room in their game with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, but they still walked away with a 127-122 win. Point guard D’Angelo Russell (25 points) was the top scorer for Minnesota.

Meanwhile, Golden State was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Sunday as they fell 107-101 to the Dallas Mavericks. Golden State was up 88-74 at the end of the third quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. Golden State’s defeat came about despite a quality game from point guard Stephen Curry, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and ten dimes.

Minnesota is now 33-29 while the Warriors sit at 43-18. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Timberwolves are worst in the league in fouls per game, with 22 on average. Golden State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the fifth most fouls per game in the league, having accrued 20.4 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
