The Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves are back in action tonight for a pivotal Game 5 matchup of the Western Conference semifinals in Minnesota.
The Timberwolves are up 3-1 in the series and are on the brink of advancing to the Western Conference finals. The Warriors took Game 1, but Minnesota bounced back and took the next three.
Anthony Edwards has been unstoppable in this series, averaging 38 points per game for Minnesota. He suffered an ankle injury scare in Game 2 but was able to return to the game and hasn’t missed any time since.

The Warriors haven’t been so lucky when it comes to injuries. They’ve been without star Stephen Curry since he left Game 1 with a hamstring strain and his absence has certainly been felt. Golden State will once again be without Curry in a must-win Game 5, who has already been ruled out.
Jonathan Kuminga has provided some much-needed assistance off the bench for the Warriors, finishing Games 3 and 4 with 30 and 23 points respectively.
