Pre-match view
Minnesota has the better home case but a narrow one after losing a lead guard; Golden State's scoring form makes the short road handicap the more comfortable angle.
Minnesota's home edge rests on its early-season scoring balance, but losing Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo removes the backcourt that would carry it; Golden State's scoring form and Yaxel Lendeborg's uncertain foot status keep the road side live.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
