All trends point to an under here and so does the situation.



The under has cashed 17 of the past 22 times in this series. Minnesota has gone under seven of the past nine times when playing a foe with a winning record, while the Warriors are 16-5-1 under the past 22 times facing a below .500 opponent.



Golden State ranks first in defensive field goal percentage and is No. 3 in defending 3-pointers. The prideful Warriors didn't like surrendering 105 points to Portland in their last game.



Leandro Barbosa won't play for Golden State and the Warriors probably will limit Stephen Curry's minutes as there is nothing at stake in this matchup and it's likely to be a blowout.



The Timberwolves could be missing Kevin Martin. Minnesota has been held to less than 100 points in six of its last seven games.
