Series History
The Thunder is 1-1 against the Timberwolves so far this season (1-0 at home, 0-1 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will NOT Cover (+3)
The season series so far between these teams has come down to the home team having that home court advantage. OKC played Minnesota close in Minneapolis to lose by 3 points, but the Thunder dominated the Timberwolves in OKC. This is the fourth game of a 4-game road trip for the Thunder, and I think it’s going to be another close one, but Minnesota just doesn’t really lose at home, so I think the Timberwolves win and barely cover the spread.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (229)
The first matchup was a defensive slugfest, and the second one featured more offense. Based on how OKC in particular has been playing lately, I expect this one to go just over the point total, but it will definitely have some flashes of defensive brilliance throughout.
