The Oklahoma City Thunder saw their 6-game win streak come to an end on Saturday at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers, and now it’s time to get back on the winning track. Tonight the Thunder takes on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a road matchup between the top two teams in the Western Conference standings.
Anthony Edwards is an emerging star for the Wolves, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is used to going head-to-head with the league’s best. Chet Holmgren, on the other hand, has had few matchups so far as tough as Karl Anthony-Towns, and after popping off for 33 points on Saturday, Chet could be primed for another big matchup.
