Minnesota Timberwolves @ Oklahoma City Thunder Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder (46-10) are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves (31-27) in the second game of a back-to-back home-and-home series. The Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, are the top team in the Western Conference and have been dominant, winning 9 of their last 10 games. They are coming off a 130-123 victory over the Timberwolves on February 23, where Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 points and the team shot a season-best 54% from three-point range.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are dealing with significant injuries to key players like Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, and Donte DiVincenzo. Despite these absences, they have shown resilience, with Anthony Edwards leading the charge. Edwards scored 29 points in the previous game, and Naz Reid added 22 points and 11 rebounds. The Timberwolves will need to improve their defense and limit the Thunder's three-point shooting to have a chance in this matchup.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves have faced each other 138 times in the regular season. The Thunder hold a significant advantage with 91 wins, while the Timberwolves have won 47 games. This season, the teams have split their first two meetings, with the Timberwolves winning 116-101 on February 13 and the Thunder taking the most recent game 130-123 on February 23.

Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder -12.5

The Thunder have been dominant this season, especially at home, where they boast a 26-4 record. They are 11-6-1 against the spread when favored by 12.5 points or more. With the Timberwolves missing key players and coming off a tough loss, the Thunder are well-positioned to cover the spread. Additionally, their three-point shooting and overall depth give them a significant edge in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 30.5 Points

Gilgeous-Alexander has been on fire, scoring 37 points in the previous game against the Timberwolves. With the Timberwolves' defense weakened by injuries, he is likely to have another big scoring night.

Anthony Edwards Over 6.5 Rebounds

Edwards grabbed 10 rebounds in the last game and has been stepping up in the absence of key frontcourt players. He should continue to be active on the boards.

Naz Reid Over 2.5 Assists

Reid has been showcasing his playmaking ability, recording 7 assists in the last game against the Thunder. With increased responsibilities, he is a strong candidate to exceed this line.
