The Minnesota Timberwolves travel to Chase Center to face the Golden State Warriors on Friday, December 12, at 10:00 PM ET. Minnesota holds a 15-9 record and comes off a one-game losing streak, while Golden State is 13-12 and riding a two-game winning streak.
Minnesota will be without Mike Conley (right Achilles), Joan Beringer, Enrique Freeman, and Rocco Zikarsky, while Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable due to right foot soreness.
Edwards leads the Timberwolves with 28.7 points per game and adds 4.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists, while Julius Randle contributes 22.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.
Golden State will miss Draymond Green for personal reasons and Al Horford with a right sciatic nerve irritation. Trayce Jackson-Davis is probable with patellar tendonitis in his right knee.
Stephen Curry leads the Warriors with 27.9 points per game, complemented by Jimmy Butler’s 19.5 points and 5.7 rebounds. Brandin Podziemski adds 12.5 points and 4.7 rebounds.
This matchup marks the first meeting of the season between the two teams.
Golden State’s rotation will rely on Curry, Butler, and Podziemski to offset absences, while supporting players Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga could see increased minutes. The Warriors’ home record of 7-3 provides a slight edge against Minnesota, which is 7-5 on the road.
