Both of these teams arrived the hard way; the Warriors survived the SoFi Play-In Tournament, while the Wolves needed a late-season surge to avoid the Play-In and snatch the No. 6 seed. All the same, these two are peaking at the right time, and this series has a chance of going the seven-game limit because of that.

Minnesota travels to Golden State for the series opener on Tuesday night, May 6, at 9:30 p.m. Eastern. This is a fast turnaround for the Warriors, who played in a Game 7 in Houston on Sunday.
