Timberwolves at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 114, Timberwolves 108

PASS.

Avoid this play. The Thunder (-425) are 28-6 at home and should come out on top, yet they aren’t worth more than 4 times your money.

BET TIMBERWOLVES +9.5 (-118).

The Timberwolves are surging. Since Feb. 9, Minnesota is 9-4 straight up, has gone 1-1 ATS as an underdog, and is 2-2 ATS in its last 4 road games.

OKC has played well, but as noted above it hasn’t been winning by a sizable margin. The Thunder are just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games when favored and have failed to cover in 4 straight home games.

BET UNDER 226.5 (-115).

Both teams are trending toward the Under here. The Timberwolves are 2-6 O/U in their previous 8 games and 2-3 O/U in their last 5 road games.

The Thunder, who have scored fewer than 105 points in 3 of their last 4 games, are 1-5 O/U in their past 6 contests. They’ve allowed 102 points or fewer in 4 of their last 6 games.
