Will the Golden State Warriors lose three consecutive playoff games for the first time since the 2016 NBA Finals? Steve Kerr will have to put on a coaching performance for the ages tonight in a must-win Game 4 for Golden State at home.
After Minnesota dominated the fourth quarter of Game 3 to pull away with a victory, look for Gary Payton, Podziemski, and Draymond Green to have better shooting nights and fight back tonight to tie this series up.
Podziemski has been incredible for Golden State as a playmaking and rebounding defender. He’s been incredible on Edwards, allowing him to shoot below 45% from the field this series.
Because of Curry’s absence, Podz has gained a larger offensive and defensive role, bringing the ball up the court while defending the toughest perimeter matchup at times on Minnesota. His shot looks a bit rushed, and his legs shot at times later in the game because of this.
He’s gone under this prop in his last six games, dating back to the end of the Houston series. This trend should continue in what is bound to be a low-scoring game once again.
After his first postseason triple-double, this prop shifted up to 34.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Randle has hit this mark in four of eight playoff games, which has been huge for this Wolves team when Anthony Edwards has been cold on the offensive end.
With that being said, I’m still not buying Randle’s consistency, and I think Draymond, Kerr, and the Warriors will attack him more early on in this game.
Game planning against bigs is exactly how Golden State defeated Houston and ended up here. In a literal must-win Game 4, look for the Warriors to gang rebound and stop Randle from getting downhill as a playmaker.
Golden State controlled the game exactly how they wanted for three quarters until Anthony Edwards exploded for 13 fourth-quarter points en route to a 33-24 last quarter that gave Minnesota the victory in The Bay.
Steve Kerr seemed positive in his post-game press conference, and he has the right to. Butler shot just 1/7 in that last period, while Jonathan Kuminga looked really comfortable on the offensive end.
Green, Podz, and Payton will have bounce-back shooting nights in a game where I think Kerr outcoaches Finch and at least gets this pivotal Game 4 down to the last two or three possessions. Golden State hasn’t lost three straight postseason games since the 2016 NBA Finals after leading the series 3-1.
