That means two road playoff games in a span of three days, which is never an easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota, meanwhile, will be coming off five days of rest. The T-Wolves are 13-7 with a rest advantage this year, per Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden State is 3-1 against Minnesota this year, but it&#8217;s been well over three months since these teams matched up. So I&#8217;m not putting much stock in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The T-Wolves are 11-1 at home since March and deserve respect for handling the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Edwards over 3.5 threes <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-154):<\/strong> Edwards went 0-for-11 from 3-point range in Minnesota&#8217;s first-round closeout game. You can look at that a couple of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pessimistically, you might say that that type of performance doesn&#8217;t warrant backing Edwards to cash this 3s milestone prop on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimistically, you might see upside in how many 3s he attempted despite the futility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reside in the latter camp. Edwards shot through the slump, and that gives me faith that he&#8217;s capable of operating with heavy volume regardless of the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dating back to the regular season, Edwards has 4+ threes in 7 of his past 10 home games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In four matchups vs. Golden State this year, Edwards shot 17-for-39 (43.6%), cashing this prop every time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Curry over 26.5 points<\/strong> (-108):<\/strong> Curry put on two stellar performances in Minnesota earlier this season, putting up 31 points apiece while collectively shooting 14-for-28 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He struggled most of the way in Golden State&#8217;s series-clinching win on Sunday before finding his rhythm late with a 14-point fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baby-Faced Assassin is 37 now, but he can still turn back the clock in any given game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 2023 postseason, Curry has 27-plus points in 14 of 20 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warriors vs. Timberwolves predictions made at 3:32 p.m. ET 05\/05\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors embark on their second-round playoff series Tuesday night at Target Center.
