Wolves in five once more? After beating the Lakers 4-1 in the first round, the Timberwolves have an opportunity to close out the Warriors in five games on Wednesday night at Target Center, which would mean advancing to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.
Minnesota uses a 3rd quarter barrage led by Anthony Edwards to stake a 3-1 series lead and move within a win of the West Finals.
In addition, Green has been suspended six times in his career, which includes $3,223,073 in lost pay. So in total, the four-time NBA champion has been hit with $4,215,073 in fines, and those are just the ones we know of since teams also have their internal fines for tardiness and other discipline for team business.
At +600 odds, the Timberwolves have a 14.29% implied probability of winning their first NBA Championship, according to FanDuel. After beginning the postseason as betting underdogs against the Lakers, they've seen a meteoric rise up the title odds list.
Anthony Edwards scored 30 points against the Golden State Warriors in Game 4, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are now up 3-1. Colin Cowherd asks if the T-Wolves are built to win it all.
The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 117-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 30 points, including 16 during a pivotal third-quarter run that shifted the game's momentum.
But what about Minnesota? The Timberwolves currently own the No. 17 pick, Detroit’s selection that they acquired as part of their trade with the Knicks back in September. Who is Minnesota projected to select in the first round of next month’s draft? Here’s who the experts suspect may soon be joining the organization:
Golden State Warriors Steph Curry is listed as out for Game 5 Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves (9:30 p.m. ET, TNT). That’s tough news for the Warriors, who trail the Timberwolves 3-1 in the best-of-7 Western Conference semifinals series.
