Golden State continued to change their lineups and rotations and couldn't find consistent production off the bench. The Warriors are still looking for a third guy to step up and be productive, and they struggled with the size and physicality of the Rockets and the T-Wolves are long and also a physical team and Curry is banged up.
Anthony Edwards is a big-time playoff performer, and he is surrounded by the perfect pieces. Randle and McDaniels have elevated their games on both ends of the floor, while Rudy Gobert was big for the Timberwolves in the series with the Lakers. Minnesota has great depth and versatility, and they can play a small lineup or go big. Tonight I look for the Timberwolves to take Game 1 and cover the spread.
