The Minnesota Timberwolves have the chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night in their second-round playoff matchup. The Wolves have won two games in a row after dropping the series opener, and the Warriors are missing Stephen Curry, who has not played since the first half of Game 1 with a hamstring strain.
There is some optimism that Curry could return in this series, but the Warriors would likely need to push it to six games to see the superstar back on the court. So there’s extra incentive for the Wolves to wrap this up in five games.
The Timberwolves earned a five-point win in Saturday’s Game 3, with Anthony Edwards scoring a series-high 36 points. Jimmy Butler broke out offensively for Golden State with a 33-point performance in 43 minutes, but the Dubs were outscored by nine points in the fourth quarter.

Warriors vs. Timberwolves: Game 4 best bet
Jonathan Kuminga has been a fun comeback story in this series, but expect Minnesota to adjust to his presence in time for Game 4. If he keeps making his 3s, the Wolves will live with that, but he’s 9-of-11 in the restricted area in this series while playing for a team that just went an entire half without making a 3-pointer. With Stephen Curry out and the offense now built around Kuminga and Jimmy Butler, it’s time for Minnesota to pack the paint. Expect them to do so on Monday, and expect Kuminga to struggle as a result. The Pick: Kuminga Under 17.5 Points

Craque Neto antecipa rebaixamento de time no Brasileirão: “Cai”
Craque Neto é apresentador da Band (Reprodução - YouTube) O Craque Neto é notabilizado pelos palpites incisivos dados sobre o futebol nacional. Ao prospectar a disputa do Brasileirão, o apresentador da Band antecipou que o Santos é um dos fortes candidatos a cair mais uma vez, dado o rendimento visto até o momento, e pela insistência em torno da espera por Neymar. Durante o “Os Donos da Bola” desta segunda (12), ele foi categórico ao bancar que o Peixe desponta como franco candidato à degola justamente no ano em que marca o retorno à elite nacional. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Santos joga hoje, se não ficar esperto, vai cair. O Santos, do jeito que está, cai. Gastou R$ 15 milhões na rescisão do Caixinha, e ainda contrata um treinador que é auxiliar. Aí se fosse o Corinthians…”, disparou o ex-jogador. Craque […]

4 jogadores que podem ganhar espaço com Ancelotti na seleção brasileira
Técnico em entrevista coletiva no Real Madrid (Divulgação Real Madrid) Nesta segunda-feira (12), a CBF anunciou oficialmente a contratação de Carlo Ancelotti como o novo técnico da seleção brasileira. Após anos de especulações, o Brasil finalmente terá o comandante italiano para a próxima Copa do Mundo. É uma tendência que o comandante continue trabalhando com os atletas do Real Madrid, mas outrosjogadores podem receber destaque. Raphinha Não há dúvidas que Raphinha vive a sua melhor temporada na carreira. O atacante do Barcelona já provou ser decisivo em várias ocasiões no seu clube e na seleção brasileira. Apesar de atuar no rival, Ancelotti deve ter acompanhado de perto o desempenho do brasileiro e deve contar com ele para seu comando na amarelinha.
