KEY GAME INFORMATION
GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is not only the NBA's best shooter, but he has also become a great passer. Durability is the only question about him now . . . KLAY THOMPSON should take advantage of the many open looks he'll get playing alongside Curry and Andre Iguodala . . . The Warriors lost Jarrett Jack and brought in TONEY DOUGLAS. While Douglas got his career on track in Houston last year, he'll strictly be a second-unit guy as Iguodala erases the need for a second point guard . . . NEMANJA NEDOVIC is looking at a redshirt year, especially after an injury-filled summer. The Serbian combo guard should overtake Douglas eventually . . . There are few things in the world better than KENT BAZEMORE celebrating a Curry three. FORWARDS: ANDRE IGUODALA is a perfect fit in Oakland, where he can play point forward and set up the Warriors' many shooters. He's also a crafty cutter who should do some sweet things alongside Stephen Curry . . . DAVID LEE draws attention away from their shooters, which ensures him a significant role. But he kills this team with his awful defense . . . HARRISON BARNES may come off the bench more often, but the Warriors will frequently go small with Barnes stretching to the four, especially after Barnes' impressive postseason showing . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS steps into Carl Landry's role as a low-post scorer off the bench . . . DRAYMOND GREEN had some trouble as a rookie. He'll have to play his way into this rotation. CENTERS:ANDREW BOGUT is injury-prone and will continue to be an afterthought on offense. They'll have to rest him often during the regular season . . . Between Bogut and JERMAINE O'NEAL, they're hoping at least one of them will be healthy at all times to protect the rim . . . FESTUS EZELI had major knee surgery and is unlikely to return in time for the Feats of Strength or the Airing of Grievances.
MINNESOTA: GUARDS: Unlike last year, RICKY RUBIO should be 100 percent healthy for all of this season. He's one of the NBA's most creative playmakers. Now if only he could make a jump shot . . . KEVIN MARTIN has become much more of a catch-and-shoot player after years of attacking the basket and living at the line. He is coming off his best year shooting the ball . . . If the Wolves don't move J.J. BAREA, they'll have him in the sixth man role they initially envisioned before injuries destroyed the roster a year ago . . . ALEXEY SHVED did a nice job holding down this backcourt as a rookie last year, but he's a second-unit talent, which is the role he'll be in this season. FORWARDS: KEVIN LOVE should bounce back completely this season, as his hand injury is unlikely to linger. Lock him into the All-Star game . . . CHASE BUDINGER never got a chance to get going last season, but he's exactly the kind of spot-up shooter and savvy cutter who should thrive alongside Ricky Rubio. Unfortunately, he is sidelined with a knee injury for several months . . . COREY BREWER gives the Timberwolves a defensive specialist to platoon with Budinger. Someone has to convince him he can't shoot, though . . . With Love back, DERRICK WILLIAMS returns to the bench as a seemingly never-ending project . . . SHABAZZ MUHAMMAD seems like a low-risk, but low-reward, second-unit scorer . . . DANTE CUNNINGHAM will back up both post spots. He figures to play sparingly unless injuries hit. CENTERS: NIKOLA PEKOVIC signed a $60M deal in August to return to the team and hold down the low post. He's an absolute beast on the offensive boards . . . GORGUI DIENG seems ready to help off the bench. He's a bit limited athletically and on offense, but can block shots . . . RONNY TURIAF will battle Dieng for bench minutes.

*Warriors-Timberwolves Preview* ===============================

By JUSTIN EINHORN STATS Senior Editor

Golden State (3-1) at Minnesota (3-1), 8:00 p.m. EDT

After dealing this season's first Eastern Conference player of the week a rough night, the Golden State Warriors hope to saddle the West winner with another one.

Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves try to bounce back from their first loss as they host the Warriors on Wednesday night in a matchup filled with sharpshooters.

Each team is off to a 3-1 start and has two players averaging more than 21 points. Love tops that group with 26.5 per game but is coming off his worst performance, scoring 17 on 8-of-20 shooting and missing a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left as Minnesota fell 93-92 in Cleveland.

"My team trusts me to make that shot and more often than not I believe that I'm going to make the shot," said Love, who missed all seven of his 3-point attempts.

The 2012 3-point Shootout champion, who did grab 13 rebounds for his fourth straight double-double, made eight 3s during the Timberwolves' 3-0 start while averaging 29.7 points to win West player of the week honors.

Golden State faced the East winner Monday at Philadelphia, limiting Michael Carter-Williams to 4 of 17 from the field and forcing him into six turnovers in an easy 110-90 victory.

Stephen Curry matched Carter-Williams with 18 points but clearly outplayed the rookie en route to his second career triple-double - 18 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds to go with five steals.

"He's done everything right for me, put me in position to be a successful coach," Mark Jackson said of Curry, who has made a league-high 18 3-pointers in 36 attempts.

Teammate Klay Thompson has hit 13 of 25 while averaging 22.5 points - Curry is at 22.0 - but it was offseason acquisition Andre Iguodala who had the highest-scoring game in the league Monday with 32.

"We have a really great group and our offense flows really well," said Iguodala, who made a career-best seven 3s. "We share the ball. We have two of the best shooters in the league of all time, and it gives us really good spacing."

Timberwolves newcomer Kevin Martin has benefited from Love and Ricky Rubio spacing the floor, averaging 21.3 points and going 12 for 20 from beyond the arc. Martin scored 23 on Monday, but Rubio was 0 for 7 from the field with five assists - he had at least 10 in each of the first three games.

"It seemed like K-Mart was really the only guy that could find his legs from outside tonight but we'll get a chance to rest (Tuesday)," Love said. "I mention that short term memory \2013 win or lose we just have to get back on that grind."

Martin has gone 30 of 53 from 3-point range (56.7 percent) in his last nine matchups with the Warriors while averaging 25.3 points.

However, this is his first time facing them since joining Minnesota, which has lost the last six meetings. David Lee has averaged 20.6 points and 10.8 boards during that win streak and helped Golden State outrebound the Timberwolves by an average of 12.0 in last season's four-game sweep.

Love was limited to 15 points and 6-of-20 shooting in his only matchup with Golden State last season. In Minnesota's only two wins over the Warriors in the last 14 meetings, Love averaged 36.5 points and 19.5 rebounds.
