The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves are on a collision course, both fighting to secure a spot in the Western Conference playoff picture. Minnesota has recently slipped to sixth place in the standings after losing three consecutive games by an average of 22 points. Their last outing was a significant defensive struggle against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Golden State is also looking to reverse a negative trend, having lost three straight and recently falling below .500 for the first time in nearly three months. The Warriors are playing shorthanded, notably without Stephen Curry, who has been sidelined for the past 15 games. Curry is set to be re-evaluated on March 21.
