1. at Minnesota – December 11

One of the biggest upsets in the NBA last season was when the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors at Oracle. The young Timberwolves boast an insane amount of talent and are only going to get better. If there is a trap game on the list, it’s December 11th at Minnesota.

The Warriors play the night before in Memphis and there stands a good chance that’s going to be a physical game. Teams that play on the back end of back-to-back games often struggle with the latter one. The Warriors are going to be bruised up after a physical game against Minnesota.

They have almost no turnaround and have to play the Timberwolves the very next day. This game has trap written all over it. The Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns are going to bring their best against Golden State and try to pick up a statement win.

Don’t be surprised if Steve Kerr tries to rest some guys in this scenario either. There’s no doubt they will be the favorites coming into this game, but no one should be shocked if Minnesota takes this one. They’re hungry and looking for another statement game to build off of.
