Entering Monday’s contest, the Warriors hold the best record in the NBA and have a franchise record 12-game win streak going. They are currently the only team in the league to have both of their starting guards average over 20 points per game.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Stephen Curry is having an MVP caliber season and is averaging 23.2 points per game to go along with shooting guard Klay Thompson’s 21.2.
It’s no surprise that both guard are performing at high levels, but the Warriors have received other major contributions. Draymond Green is averaging 13.5 points per game, after only averaging 6.5 last year. Small forward Harrison Barnes is putting up 11.6 points per game to go along with 6.4 rebounds.
The loss of David Lee has proved to no problem at all. Draymond Green has stepped up and is having a career year in scoring and shooting from the three point line.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
As a team, the Warriors are shooting 38.4% from three and average 107.1 points per game. Both of these marks rank near the top of the league.
The Timberwolves bring the leagues worst record into this game on Monday. Defense has not been their strong suit thus far this year. As a team, the Timberwolves are surrendering 112.7 points per game.
Despite their ugly record, there are some positives. The Timberwolves have young star Andrew Wiggins, who has had some impressive moments so far in his young career. Wiggins is averaging 11.4 points per game.
Rookie point guard Zach LaVine is averaging 19.5 points per game with 7.5 assists in replacement for veteran point guard Mo Williams.
Minnesota dropped their five in a row the other night in San Antonio, but received a great effort from LaVine. He had 22 points and 10 assists.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Timberwolves have a lot of young talent and it will be interesting to see how they respond to playing the best team in the league.
Look for the Warriors to continue their dominant road win streak against the beat up Timberwolves. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will thrive against the rookie guards who will be checking them. I think as long as the Warriors keep their starters in for a majority of the game, they won’t have any problem covering the spread.
Golden State was won five of the last six in Minnesota, covering the spread in all of them.
Although that is a lot points to be giving, scoring points is no problem for Steph Curry and company.
Golden State 107, Minnesota 92
With the Timberwolves giving up near the most points per game in the league, the Warriors will put up over 100 and cover the spread.

The Mavs are just that – tough.
The Mavs snatched a victory away from Chicago last night in double overtime.
This Mavs team is good but the game should have ended in regulation but the Bulls stupidly fouled Monta Ellis on a three and his free throws sent the game to OT.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Even though they won they might be a little winded tonight taking on Milwaukee without any days rest.
Dallas has won 4 in a row including two in overtime but you have to think they might not be as sharp against a surprising Milwaukee team.
Jameer Nelson was back in the lineup last night but was a non-factor.
The same can not be said of Ellis who scored 38 points in the victory and seemed to have life late in the game when others didn’t.
Even though Nelson started the Mavs got a major contribution from backup PG Devin Harris.
He made all 6 of his three pointers and played a smart all around game with just one turnover.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
He may need to be a big contributor as Nelson works back into shape.
Milwaukee is still one of the most pleasant surprises in the league.
Though they should probably be closer to 76ers territory they have a winning record and we are nearly a quarter of the way through the season. Last night they had a close loss to the Cavaliers on the road so they will also be playing a back to back.
It was the second loss in row for this streaky team. These guys are not good but they have shown some resiliency and they might be catching the Mavs at a good time.
You probably don’t watch many Mavs games so you probably don’t know all that much about Giannis Antekounmpo, one of the most versatile players in the game.
At 6’9” there is a natural comparison to Toni Kukoc but that might be a low ceiling given how much he has improved from his first to second seasons.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Bucks have a young nucleus and the more they let him and rookie Jabari Parker take shots away from Brandon Knight the better they will be in my opinion.
I think the Bucks might continue their sneakiness and catch the Mavs in this one.
NBA Score prediction: Milwaukee 99 – Dallas 98
I haven’t quite figured out why they are better this year but the results are there.

They both are coming off losses and need to get a win to get their seasons’ back on track.
The Nets enter this contest off an 18-point blowout loss to the Bulls and dropping two of their last three. Coach Lionel Hollins has been experimenting with the line-up, interchanging veterans to improve their shooting percentage.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Brooklyn is shooting 29.3% behind the 3-point line, which ranks third last in the league.
The Nets are led by veterans Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett, and Joe Johnson. Last game they shot a miserable 2-14 from three and sharpshooter Joe Johnson shot 1 for 7.
Interior passing has been the Nets biggest strength thus far. Power forward Kevin Garnett and center Brook Lopez are mostly responsible for this, they both have been excellent passers throughout their career. The Nets average 20.2 touches within 12 feet of the hoop which puts them in the top five.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Despite the good ball movement, the Nets are only averaging 98.9 points per game. In order for the team to score more and win, point guard Deron Williams needs to shoot the ball well.
The Knicks are led by rookie head coach Derek Fisher. Fisher is faced with the challenge of implementing the triangle offense.
Star small forward Carmelo Anthony is averaging 23.7 points per game, which is down from his previous season total. New York has really been struggling to learn the new offense, they only average 93.4 points per game. Similar to the Nets, the Knicks do not have a problem moving the ball.
They average 362.3 passes per contest, which is good for second in the league. The back court of Shumpert and Calderon average a total of about 20 points per game, which is not a good number based on their shooting abilities.
The Knicks front court is missing center Andrea Bargnani due to a hamstring injury, which has proved to be a significant loss.
New York has oddly shot the ball much better on the road as opposed to playing at Madison Square Garden. Last home game against the Heat, the Knicks shot 3 for 24 from behind the arc.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
To win games this year, the Knicks will need to get big performances out of Carmelo Anthony and sixth man J.R. Smith.
The Knicks will struggle to score in the new triangle offense. Carmelo Anthony’s back is still bothering him, but he still will not hesitate to put up all his shots. New York will struggle to defend the front line of Brooklyn and the absence of Bargnani will be apparent.
Expect a big game from Deron Williams and Joe Johnson to get his shooting back on track.
Brooklyn 101, New York 88
Brooklyn will take advantage of the point guard matchup and Kevin Garnett will thrive in the post.
