Sun May 11 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Timberwolves Aim for Series Tie Against Curry-less Warriors

**MINNEAPOLIS, MN –** The Minnesota Timberwolves look to even the series against the Golden State Warriors tonight, capitalizing on the absence of star point guard Stephen Curry. Curry is expected to be sidelined for a week due to a hamstring injury suffered in Game 1.

The Warriors dominated Game 1, but the Timberwolves are favored at home for Game 2, with a spread of -10.5 points. Sports analysts are highlighting several key betting opportunities. Naz Reid, who scored 19 points in Game 1, is projected to exceed 12.5 points. Anthony Edwards is favored to grab over 7.5 rebounds, building on his recent strong performances on the boards. Center Rudy Gobert, who had 11 rebounds in Game 1, is expected to surpass 10.5 rebounds, particularly given the Warriors’ smaller lineup in Curry’s absence. ESPN’s Basketball Power Index predicts a Timberwolves victory by 1.9 points, with a 56% chance of a straight-up win. The projected total points for the game is 212.2. The Timberwolves’ success will depend largely on their ability to exploit the Warriors’ vulnerabilities without their star player. The game tips off at 8:30 p.m. CT. Rob Dillingham’s status for the Timberwolves remains uncertain due to an ankle injury.
