Golden State Warriors vs. Timberwolves: Predicting statistical performances

Small Forwards:  Wiggins still great defensively while Okogie is limited due to injury

Andrew Wiggins: 17-6-3, 1 STL, 2 BLK, 6-15 FG, 1-5 3PT

Wiggins will continue to use his length and athleticism on the defensive end. We love to see Wiggins play long on the defensive end. His growth as a two-way player has been a pleasant surprise.

Josh Okogie: 5-2-1, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 2-4 FG

Okogie is recovering from a left hamstring strain. His minutes will continue to be limited. Okogie’s strength comes through his play on the defensive end. Look for Okogie to be a menace in the defensive lanes.

Power Forwards: Green fills the stat sheet while Vanderbilt is solid

Draymond Green: 8-6-7, 2 STL, 2 BLK, 3-8 FG

Draymond Green’s numbers may be down, but his value to the team is off the charts. He continues to be a mentor to the young players. Green will put up numbers in all facets of the stat sheet. His presence will be felt on both ends of the floor.

Jarred Vanderbilt: 12-8-2, 2 STL, 3 BLK,  5-10 FG

Vanderbilt has put up double-digit points in his last 3 games. With Hernangomez out, Vanderbilt has been consistent in his efforts. Vanderbilt is very dependable on the defensive end and will look to hold down the fort.

Centers: Looney split minutes with Wiseman while Naz Reid struggles

Kevon Looney: 10-4-2, 1 BLK, 4-7 FG

Looney will split minutes with Rookie James Wiseman although he’s taking over the starting role. Looney will be mediocre providing substantial defense. Although Wiseman is more versatile, having a veteran start in Looney will bring a better defensive lineup to the beginning of games.

Naz Reid: 13-8-2, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 4-11 FG, 2-7 3PT

Reid will look to fill the shoes of KAT but won’t be as effective. Reid will struggle from the field as he likes to chuck up shots from three.
