Minnesota is making waves as they currently occupy ninth in the Western Conference standings, while Golden State, somewhat surprisingly, holds the fifth-best record. The Warriors came out of the gates blazing, securing 12 wins in their first 15 games. But things have gone south quickly—they’ve dropped six of their last seven matchups, including Friday’s 107-90 loss to the Timberwolves. In that game, Golden State entered the fourth quarter down by six, but Minnesota shut the door, outscoring them 29-18 to seal the deal with a double-digit win.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have turned their season around. After starting 8-6, they hit a bump with four straight losses. Now, though, they have regained momentum as they are on a four-game winning streak capped off by their dominant performance against the Warriors. Their balanced attack made a real statement in that game—every single starter scored in double figures.

Golden State’s recent skid is raising eyebrows, especially after such a hot start. Minnesota’s bounce-back shows they shouldn’t be underestimated. With both teams vying for playoff positioning, the drama feels as intense as a binge-worthy show, and it’s only getting better.

Moses Moody is dealing with left knee soreness and remains questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Timberwolves. He exited Friday’s game against Minnesota because of the issue, and while there’s hope he might suit up, the team will probably decide his availability closer to the 8:30 p.m. tipoff ET tipoff.

Andrew Wiggins aggravated a right ankle injury during the third quarter of Friday’s game against the Timberwolves and is now listed as questionable for Sunday. Whether he can play in the rematch remains uncertain, adding another layer of suspense to the Warriors’ lineup decisions.

Let us take a look at both teams’ injury reports and depth charts before they meet each other for the 2nd time.

Can the Warriors take revenge without Wiggins?

Quinten Post is sidelined with a thumb injury, though when and how it happened remains unclear. The extent of the issue is also unknown, leaving fans in the dark about his return timeline. In five games for Santa Cruz, the second-round rookie has been impressive, averaging 18.6 points, 10 rebounds, and two three-pointers over 27 minutes per contest. Despite his convincing performance in the G League, Post has yet to make his NBA debut for Golden State.

The Warriors had announced in late November that De’Anthony Melton would miss the rest of the season because of surgery for a sprained ACL in his left knee. Initially, the injury sidelined Melton for two games before further testing confirmed that he needed surgery.

After considering his options, Melton opted for surgery as the best course of action, officially bringing his first season with Golden State to a close. The setback limits his chance to make a bigger impact, but health comes first.

Will the Timberwolves repeat what happened on Friday?

Joe Ingles (calf) won’t suit up for Sunday’s game against the Warriors, extending his absence to nine straight games. The veteran forward remains sidelined with a left soleus strain, and there’s no clear timeline for his return, keeping fans in suspense.

Meanwhile, rookie guard Robert Dillingham is also out for Sunday’s matchup because of a lingering right ankle sprain. This marks the fourth consecutive game he’ll miss, with his return also tentatively pegged for Dec. 13 against the Lakers.

The Warriors might have kicked off the season on a high note, but their current struggles make that hot start look like a one-off. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are on fire, riding a four-game winning streak and showing they’ve hit their rhythm. But anything can happen. Who do you think will win?
