Warriors vs Timberwolves Prediction, Odds & Game Preview 5/10/2025

The Minnesota Timberwolves look to capitalize on their dominant Game 2 victory as they head to Chase Center with the series tied 1-1 against a struggling Golden State Warriors squad.

With the Timberwolves entering as 6-point favorites following their commanding 117-93 win, all eyes will be on Julius Randle who torched the Warriors with 24 points and 11 assists last time out.

Golden State must find answers quickly as they shot just 44.7% from the field and an abysmal 28.1% from three-point range in their previous matchup, putting immense pressure on Jonathan Kuminga to build on his efficient 18-point performance.

Golden State Warriors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves head to Chase Center with momentum after dismantling the Warriors 117-93 in Game 2, evening this Western Conference Semifinal series at one game apiece.

Golden State faces a critical moment at home where they'll need to address their alarming 20 turnovers from Game 2 while also finding answers for Julius Randle, who carved them up with 24 points and 11 assists.

Minnesota's defense has been suffocating, holding the normally efficient Warriors to just 28% from beyond the arc last game while converting at a blistering 43% clip themselves.

Jonathan Kuminga's efficient 18-point performance (8-of-11 shooting) stands as one of the few bright spots for a Warriors squad that needs more production across the board to overcome the 6-point spread.

The Timberwolves' balanced attack and defensive intensity have given them an edge so far, though Chase Center has historically been one of the league's most formidable home courts come playoff time.
