The Golden State Warriors are at home on Monday night as they face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of their second-round series.
Golden State got off to a hot start in the series as they were able to steal Game 1 on the road despite their star point guard Stephen Curry exiting the game early in the second quarter due to an injury.

Since then, the Warriors have struggled without Curry in the lineup as they dropped Game 2 by 24 points and then blew a lead in the fourth quarter in Game 3.
With the Timberwolves now leading the series 2-1, the Warriors are now in a must-win situation on Monday night as they continue to await Curry’s return.
Unfortunately for Golden State, Curry is expected to be out until at least Game 6 due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.
He is set to be reevaluated before Game 5 on Wednesday, but he is not expected to return to the lineup until at least Game 6 or possibly later.
This is a massive blow for the Warriors as they have struggled without their star point guard on the offensive side of the ball and they will need Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and the rest of their rotation to step up in his absence.
The good news for Golden State is that Gary Payton II is available for Monday’s game despite continuing to deal with a lingering left thumb injury.
Of course, Steve Kerr has used Payton II a ton off the bench in the series thus far due to Curry’s injury and he should once again have an increased role in Game 4.
On the other side, the Timberwolves will enter Monday’s game with a clean injury report despite Anthony Edwards continuing to battle through an ankle injury.
