Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Predictions
A tantalizing matchup is on the cards this weekend in the NBA when the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Oklahoma City Thunder. The two are the top teams in the Western Conference with leaders Minnesota sitting two games clear of second-placed Oklahoma. The Timberwolves are in great form at the moment and arrive for this game on a four-match winning streak. Chris Finch’s men defeated the Grizzlies 118-103 last time out to earn their 30th victory in 41 outings. Minnesota possesses one of the best home records this season and has won 17 of 19 games at Target Centre. With their number one defensive rating, the Timberwolves will be confident of a win here. Minnesota held OKC to one of its lowest points tallies this season when it won the first matchup of the campaign 106-103. Jaylen Clark remains sidelined and will miss this game.
The Thunder have stuttered in recent outings and have won only one of their last three matches. This was a 134-129 victory over the in-form Jazz last time out. The Thunder, who are in the last match of a four-game road trip, had lost back-to-back games in LA before the Utah match. Mark Daigneault’s men have now won 28 of 41 matches and 12 have come away from home. They however have suffered six of their eight away defeats to Western Conference opposition. OKC, who possesses the third-best ranked offence, could be without Lu Dort for this match. Dort missed the win over the Jazz due to illness. The Thunder secured a blowout victory when they last played the Timberwolves and won 129-106 at home after Christmas.
