The Golden State Warriors will be shorthanded heading into this matchup, as Stephen Curry has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Despite losing Curry in the first half of Game 1, the Warriors managed to secure a comfortable road victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, the pressure is squarely on Minnesota to step up and avoid dropping into a 2-0 hole before the series shifts to Golden State.

Minnesota's shooting struggles from beyond the arc have been evident throughout the playoffs, and Game 1 was no exception. The Timberwolves' starters combined to shoot a dismal **1-for-13** from three-point range, while the Warriors were far more effective, knocking down **15 of 37** attempts from deep. For Minnesota to bounce back, they must find their rhythm from long distance and improve their perimeter shooting.

While the Timberwolves are expected to respond with a stronger effort at home, the current line still seems a bit wide, considering the Warriors' resilience. Golden State may be without their star guard, but their ability to keep games competitive should not be underestimated. Look for Minnesota to edge out a win, but expect Golden State to keep it tight right down to the wire. Take Golden State ATS
