I think this is safest play. MIN is terrible now, loses to NOH without West and Okafor, lose to LAC.

I'd like to think it's pretty safe...over 95% of the early action is taking GSW -2 or -2.5Originally posted by AmbrucioComment -
I'm taking GS because that point spread is the cheapest for me to swallow.
You might want to go ML on MN if you think MN will break their 7 straight game losing streak.Comment -
Yeah, GSW haven't lose against MIN about 2 years.Originally posted by alien296Comment -
Okafor played that game.Originally posted by AmbrucioComment -
I like GSW here.
The Twolves are 13-36 (.220) overall, 9-21 (.300) at home, and 5-12 against their conference. The Twolves are on a 7 game losing streak having lost 13 of their last 15 games at home. They are flat out terrible team who have no edge playing at home. Their only decent wins at home were against the Knicks (.518) and the Hornets (.583). Their other 7 wins at home were against sub .400 teams who are terrible on the road: Bucks (.379 Overall) 8-22 road, Clippers (.350 Overall) 5-24 road, Cavs (.190 Overall) 3-27 road, Pistons (.361 Overall) 7-23 road, Nets (.288 Overall) 4-27 road, Wizards (.259 Overall) 1-28 road, and the Raptors (.271 Overall) 5-24 road. Do you see the trend? The Twolves have only beat teams who have records under .400 overall .300 on the road (excluding the Knicks and the Hornets).
Golden State are 4 games shy of .500 who are a good team at home and not so good on the road. Their overall record is 26-31 (.456), 19-13 (.594) at home, and 7-18 (.280) on the road. These two teams met in November in Minnesota where the Warriors won 104-94. GSW shot extremely well that game (50%). Curry had 20 points, Ellis had 26 points, and Wright had 30 points that game. GSW allowed only 39% shooting and forced 21 turnovers. These two teams met again in December where Golden State won 108-99. GSW shot 50% once again and allowing 45% shooting and forcing 21 turnovers. Curry didn't play this game and GSW still managed to win this one.
This is the first road game of a 7 game road series for GSW. They will be on the road for a week and a half, and I see them having no problem starting it off with a win against the Twolves. Golden State has won five straight against Minnesota and six of seven at the Target Center. I see them bouncing back after losing to the Celtics and the Hawks at home. GSW should be feeling confident about this game considering their history with the Twolves.Comment -
GSW road games overall is similar as MIN home games overall.Comment -
GSW i so disappointing this season,Comment -
Revised my writeup.. GSW plays extremely well against Minny. These two teams have played twice this season and GSW shot 50% both games. History shows GSW dominates this team in MinnyComment -
I'm on GSW -2.5Comment -
so what about Minnesota? They aren't dissapointing?Originally posted by secret007Comment -
Very Difficult playComment -
I agree with GSW -2,5!!Comment -
GSW burned me Friday and I know being out for revenge theyd burn me if i fade. Min or no playComment -
You should double up if gsw burned ya.Originally posted by ThingsFallApart
They are now beginning their 7 days road trip and 5 of them is to a losing reocrd team. Eventually, they will beat and cover or win the spread against one of these 7 teams. GSW do have a losing trendy record and that is what I'm worrying about. Will history repeat itself and let them go on a 7 games losing streak again? I highly doubt it and even if they lose the game, we can still win with the spread. Odds favoring good on gsw to win sometime in the near future. Continue to double up, triple up on gsw is my friendly saying or just watch how I am going to ride them through. Bet with confidence.

GSW is unpredictable but still like the playComment -
Here is my gsw future prediction.
If they lose today, they will play indiana. If they are underdog by 3 points or less, take gsw ML.
next game they play with washington. GSW will be fav. If they lose today, lose to indiana, they will cover at washington.
If all of the above premises loses, they will play boston and will lose the game but cover the spread.
Something has to give. I'm sure of that. If they lose above plus what they are at now, they will be on a 6 games losing streak. They are playing for a playoff spot so I don't think they are going to play sloppy. They have to win any one of the game that I mentioned above, either SU or ATS and we will have our money.

If they want to make playof gsw must to beat minnesota and others terribleComment -
GSW is like the 2010 49ers. Bad team but Playoff spot still open for them. Just don't choke.Originally posted by Ambrucio
GSW only has like 10 games or so teams left that is better than them. The rest are for practice.

GS will win this oneComment -
I havent played the Twolves at all this season. Just did my research to see if GSW was the right play considering them being terrible on the road.. Also looked into it to see how much I was going to play them for. I don't make any plays without looking into the game.Originally posted by HoulihansTXi KNOW YOU DID A LARGE WRITE UP YADDA YADDA YADDA. But did you think you would find any reason to back Timbercubs?
