The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to battle it out at Target Center in an NBA clash. The Timberwolves are in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, while the Thunder lead at the top. Here's our match prediction.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had two nights of rest heading into this clash, which should be enough to see them get back to the winning column. In their recent match against the Memphis Grizzlies, the team suffered a 116-110 home defeat.

In that match, Julius Randle led the team with 21 points, five rebounds, and three assists. As a team, they shot 39.8% from the field and 29.55% from the three-point range.

The Timberwolves have won seven of their last nine matches. Entering their third match of a five-game homestand, Chris Finch's men will hope to balance the record by recording their second win in four games (L2).

The Oklahoma City Thunder returned to winning ways in style after their NBA Finals defeat to the San Antonio Spurs. Their response to that setback was a recent 122-101 home victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Thunder are playing on the second night of a back-to-back and are aiming to record their 18th win in 19 games. 

In unfamiliar territory, they've been a force to be reckoned with. They are riding an eight-match winning streak and will hope for a favorable outcome.
