Timberwolves at Thunder and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 121, Timberwolves 117
Moneyline
OKC has won the last 2 meetings, and I like them here at home, but I'm not too keen on the -145 price tag on the back end of a back-to-back.
PASS and look to the spread.
Against the spread
The Thunder have covered in each of the last 2 meetings, and they're 16-6 ATS at home on the season. I'm more than happy to lay the 2.5 points here.
Take the THUNDER -2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Over is just 3-7 in the last 10 matchups. Minnesota is 4-6 O/U over their last 10, and OKC is 3-7. This total is 7.5 points lower than the last matchup, and it's at a point I'm comfortable with.
Take the OVER 222.5 (-115).
