After a rough blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors will have the opportunity to bounce back against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.
However, the Warriors won’t have it easy against the surging Timberwolves. Led by Karl Anthony-Towns and rookie Anthony Edwards, the T-Wolves are riding a three-game winning streak with four victories in their last five games. The 2020 first overall pick is proving worthy of the selection, averaging 18.3 points on 40% shooting from the floor with 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per contest.
