The Western Conference Semifinals are here. After muscling their way past the Houston Rockets in an intense and physical seven-game series that came down to the wire, the Golden State Warriors have moved on to face the six-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. And the Warriors are ready to kick off the next round.
Both teams enter the second round in fairly good health, so it should be a fair fight. Here’s the full injury report for tonight’s game, which tips off in Minneapolis at 6:30 p.m. PT on TNT.

Questionable — Gary Payton II (left elbow joint inflammation)
Payton missed Sunday’s Game 7 win over the Rockets due to an illness, with Steve Kerr describing a painfully sick sounding guard.
