After nursing a toe injury, Draymond Green will finally be back in the lineup as the Golden State Warriors take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Aiming for their fourth straight victory, the Golden State Warriors will take on a Wolves team that’s currently sitting outside the playoff picture. A Western Conference-best 11-2 at home, the Warriors should be able to extend their winning streak, especially with Draymond Green back.

This will be Green’s first game since the team’s 21-point loss in Houston. Almost a month since he was last on the court, Green’s time off came coincidently a few games after his altercation with Kevin Durant, basically giving the two a forced break from each other.

It seems like those issues have past, and the team should be ready to move on. However, it wouldn’t be shocking to see some chemistry issues early on as they’ll get back to playing for one another.

This will be the first game in over a month that the Big 4 will all be on the court, and in just a few weeks, the team should finally be fully healthy. DeMarcus Cousins is set to return after Christmas, allowing fans a first look at one of the best starting lineups of all time.

Green’s return will also come just in time for the Dubs home matchup against Toronto.

The Raptors will make the trip to Golden State on Wednesday, December 12. Two teams, both at the top of their respective conferences, will highlight an incredible slate of games. One of the most anticipated games of the season, Golden State will be near full strength for this game.

The Dubs took on the Raptors 12 days ago in Canada. A three-point overtime road loss to the best team in the East without Stephen Curry, DeMarcus Cousins and Draymond Green is actually slightly impressive. However, no loss in impressive for Warrior fans anymore.

That’s why it’s great to see Green coming back with such a marquee matchup on the horizon. Dubs-Raptors will be a must-watch game. December 12 at 10:30 EST on ESPN; mark it down!
