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

What are realistic expectations for Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy? What the history tells us
Kevin O’Connell gave an illuminating quote last week. The Minnesota Vikings coach was being interviewed on “The Rich Eisen Show,” and Eisen asked him multiple questions about young quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Eventually, O’Connell turned snarky.“I know everybody is wildly concerned about these reps on air,” O’Connell said. “Let me put you at peace: (McCarthy) is taking plenty of snaps from Ryan Kelly, who happens to be a 10-year starting offensive center in this league.”AdvertisementO’Connell’s point? The Vikings may be waiting to declare McCarthy the starter, but McCarthy is receiving the starter reps. This is instructive. O’Connell reiterated the team’s belief in the 22-year-old while keeping the competitive spirit alive for McCarthy’s continued development.Maximizing what a quarterback can be does not mean coddling him. Praising and uplifting are necessary, but not to a degree that they prevent progress.The general interest in McCarthy, […]

Meet the man behind the NFL schedule, on the verge of his retirement
Howard Katz had just finished his presentation to NFL coaches and general managers, explaining how he and his team make the league’s schedule.“Have you ever done that presentation before?” a coach asked him.“Yes, but not to this audience,” Katz replied.“You should never do it again.”“Seriously? … Why?”Advertisement“I always thought the scheduling process was completely random,” the coach said. “It bothers me to know there’s a small group of people who have that much control over destiny.”For two decades, Katz has been at the center of each year’s NFL schedule. Coaches and networks lobby him for perks and complain about grievances. He’s the unknown planner behind every NFL fan’s fall Sundays.The schedule-making process spans from January to May, refining endless possibilities in an infinite pattern of give-and-take.“The same thing over and over again, expecting a different result,” Katz said during a […]
