Timberwolves vs. Warriors
The Warriors felt the pain of not having Steph Curry in the lineup in Game 2. They not only got blown out, but they failed to record a single basket until nearly five minutes into the game.
I think the Warriors bounce back in Game 3 at home. Although Rudy Gobert has a massive size advantage over Draymond Green, he hasn't had a massive jump ball advantage against him this year. In this series they've split the two opening tips. Speaking of Green, he is primed for a bounce back game.
Green didn't shoot well in Game 2 and he let his emotions get the better of him. However, he's been exceptional in the Playoffs for First Baskets. The Warriors are giving him plenty of opportunities and he's been making them glad they did. He already has a First Basket in Game 1 of this series and had a few in the first round. With his odds still very long, he's a high value play again on Saturday.
Pick: Draymond Green (+1200)
