Looking to avoid their sixth loss in seven games to the Warriors, the Timberwolves will try for a season-best third consecutive win overall Sunday night.
Sportsbook.com has listed the Warriors as -7 Point favorites with a total of 219
Minnesota (17-50), which hasn’t won three straight since a four-game run Jan. 29-Feb. 6, 2010, had lost 11 of 14 before recording the second of back-to-back wins, 122-101 over Utah on Friday.
“This means something for us, especially at this time of the year,” said Darko Milicic, who had 14 points and six rebounds. “It’s almost the end of the season and we’re kind of a struggling team that’s not going to make the playoffs. We all know that. We know we’re going to go home April 13.”
The Timberwolves sit in 14th place in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Warriors are in 12th place and remain six games behind Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot with 17 games to go.
Golden State (29-36) has not been to the postseason since 2006-07, and entered play Friday having dropped of seven of nine – a stretch that included a 126-123 loss at Minnesota on Feb. 27.
