Minnesota holds a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series after edging Golden State 102-97 in Game 4 on Sunday. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 36 points, while Jimmy Butler paced the Warriors with 33.
The Timberwolves are 10-point favorites heading into Wednesday’s matchup. The over/under is set at 203.5 points.
A win would send Minnesota to its second Western Conference finals appearance in as many seasons and third since 2004. A loss would give the Warriors another chance to extend the series back to San Francisco for Game 6 on Sunday.
