Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 12/12/25

The Golden State Warriors get a major lift with Stephen Curry returning from a quad contusion, bringing back his 27.9 PPG and elite gravity that transforms their entire offense. Even without Draymond Green, the Warriors have defended well in stretches, holding opponents under 100 points per 100 possessions during key runs. Pairing Curry with veteran scorer Jimmy Butler gives Golden State enough shot creation and late game stability to attack Minnesota’s perimeter defense. At home, where role players historically shoot better and Golden State’s pace sharpens, Curry’s return should immediately raise their efficiency and floor spacing.

Minnesota counters with the explosive Anthony Edwards, who has posted multiple 40-point performances recently, along with a bruising frontcourt of Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle that controls the paint and glass. However, while the Wolves’ talent is undeniable, they’ve been less steady on the road and have played in several tight games where execution has slipped late. Golden State already has recent success in close matchups against the Wolves, and Curry’s presence significantly shifts the offensive ceiling. With Golden State regaining its star and playing in a favorable home environment, this sets up as a prime spot for the Warriors to outpace Minnesota in a competitive, back and forth battle.
