Steph Curry is out and Draymond Green is doubtful tomorrow for the Warriors. That game is now a must-win.


Edit:

Anthony Slater:

"Gary Payton II has been upgraded to questionable with those lower back spasms. No Draymond Green or Steph Curry. Klay Thompson will be back for Warriors in Minnesota."

This is an https://twitter.com/nowxuno/status/1481940662853378050?s=20interesting clip from the other night... Without reading into it too much, I love D-Lo's attitude/response and I'm miffed at KAT's. It's like one player gets it, or is at least getting there, and the other just doesn't have the same mentality. That's just how the clip appears. Their play from here on out will say all that needs to be said, though.

The Wolves unbelievable injury luck continues as we face a Warriors team with three starters out (Curry, Green and Wiseman) and Klay Thompson nowhere near close to form (his TS% of 47.5% is 10 percentage points below his career average). The Wolves are favored by 5 and should be. We're at home playing a team whose best player on the court will be Andrew Wiggins. This better be a double digit win.

Yes, VERY lucky break. We need a win here. However, we know how Wiggins suddenly wakes up from his usual half slumber when he plays his former team. Don't be surprised to see the "what could have been" version of Wiggins tonight.

Yes, and Klay will likely catch fire and put up 30 points. Still we should have enough to bet them.

Exactly. Pick from the menu folks. May be we'll get the daily double: Wiggins revenge game against former team AND a Klay breakout game. I'm preparing myself for it.

Still here, just taking a step back to try and gain some perspective. For what it's worth, DLO is playing his best basketball of his time with the Wolves, and Wiggins is playing the best basketball of his career.

Agreed, Cool. I'm glad to see you're still around and following the Wolves.

Oh yeah, it's starting to finally become fun again. I never miss a game and the board keeps me informed.

It is bizarre, isn't it Cool? Two guys who will be forever linked through a trade and have each had meh careers up until this year have each done a 180 degree turn. We have worried about DLo's shooting much of this year, but his TS% is now back up to his career average. And all his other metrics are better, including continuing to lead the Wolves in on/off! And his improvement is easy to see on the court without looking at the numbers...he just looks like a different player at both ends of the court. And then there's Wig who is averaging almost 19 PPG and shooting 42.5% on threes with a 59 TS%. He's a bona fide all-star candidate. It's an odd phenomenon to see both of these guys get so much better all of a sudden, but it's certainly been fun to watch!
