Timberwolves vs Warriors Prediction

I don’t want to lay chalk with a Timberwolves side that’s lost 4 straight games, which includes inexcusable losses to the Jazz and Bulls. The Timberwolves play with their food a lot, but this recent stretch is Patrick Ewing ugly. With that said, the Warriors are 8-14 SU on the road. The Warriors also have issues scoring, and they’re down two of their better scorers in Butler and Kuminga. Also, the Timberwolves are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last 5 games against the Warriors. I just can’t get there with the Warriors given their injury report. If the Timberwolves don’t cruise here, we have to take a step toward the panic button.
