The Warriors will miss some key players due to injury concerns. Klay Thompson and James Wiseman are out for the rest of the season. Center Eric Paschall is sidelined with a hip injury. Guard Damion Lee is out as he has to follow the league’s health and safety protocols while Kelly Oubre Jr. is doubtful as he recovers from a wrist injury.

The Warriors will look to come back to winning ways with a victory against the Timberwolves who are having a nightmare season.

The Timberwolves are finally showing how good they really can be when they are fully fit, especially with the return of D’Angelo Russell. They will only be missing Malik Beasley through a hamstring injury and might be a week or two away from making his return.

The Timberwolves will look to build on their winning streak and will be confident of their chances against the depleted Warriors team.
