May 8, 2025

Find the best Warriors vs. Timberwolves picks for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals tonight on PrizePicks, including Anthony Edwards and Buddy Hield.

The Warriors pulled off an upset of the Timberwolves in Game 1, winning on the road to steal home court advantage in the series. However, it wasn’t all good news for the underdogs, as Steph Curry suffered a hamstring strain that is expected to sideline him for at least a week.

The Timberwolves will try to even up the series Thursday before heading out on the road for Game 3. Meanwhile, the Warriors will need ancillary pieces like Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski to step up to secure Game 2.
