The Minnesota Timberwolves are next in line in the payback department as they host the undermanned Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Participants in five straight trips to the NBA Finals, the Warriors are 7-3 in the past 10 games against the Timberwolves. But this year's version of the Warriors resembles recent editions in name only, as Golden State will take the court for the first of three head-to-heads this season without injured Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, on top of having lost Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, DeMarcus Cousins and Shaun Livingston in the offseason.
