Okay, that’s a crucial adjustment! With Stephen Curry out for the Warriors, the game dynamic changes significantly. Here’s the revised preview:
(Game 3, Series Tied 1-1, Curry OUT)
Point Spread: Timberwolves -5.5 Total: 201.5
Revised Analysis:
The Golden State Warriors face a monumental challenge as they host Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves without their superstar Stephen Curry. With the series tied 1-1, this game is critical, and the Warriors will need to find a way to overcome Curry’s absence.
The Storylines:
- Warriors’ Offense Without Curry: Without Curry, there was a 30% less chance for the Warriors to make good shots, so they will need help. What adjustments can they do to improve their chances?
- Edwards’ Opportunity: With all attention focused on the Timberwolves, can Anthony Edward dominate this game? Does he use it to play aggressively?
- Game Changes: Will this force the Wolves to use the big men and the guards to play a faster game so the Warriors won’t be able to catch up?
The Pick:
Without Stephen Curry, it’s hard to see the Warriors being able to win and the TimberWolves being to cover and come away with the Over, which might be the better bet to secure.
Final Recommendation: Timber Wolves OVER 201.5 and the timberwolves are going to make it +5.5
In the end, I think the Timberwolves defense will keep the team in check. A game that is controlled may come out big for our predictions!
