Golden State has won six of its last 10 games but is an awful 2-8 at the betting window over that same 10-game stretch. The Warriors are also just 28-34 against the spread on the season, which includes a losing record of 14-19 ATS on the road.
Minnesota has also won six of its last 10 games but has the exact opposite record against the spread as Golden State, covering in eight of those 10 contests. The Timberwolves are still just 31-32 at the betting window on the season, however, which includes a 17-17 ATS record at home.

The Warriors are also winless at 0-4 against the spread in their last four games versus the Timberwolves, who are a perfect 7-0 against the spread in their last seven games. Minnesota is also 4-0 against the number in its last four games coming off a victory.
