The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves will face off for the first time since last season’s NBA playoffs at Paycom Center on Wednesday night. OKC (17-1) are top of the Western Conference standings, while the Timberwolves (10-7) are seventh. Let’s get into the match prediction!
The Oklahoma City Thunder have picked up where they left off last season, currently the best team in the NBA (17-1) and on a nine-game win streak after dismantling Portland 122-95 on Monday.
Even without Jalen Williams, OKC look a cut above the rest. They have the league’s best defence while ranking third in scoring offence, averaging 122.6 points per game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has already announced himself as a front-runner for MVP again this season, while Chet Holmgren is having an excellent campaign, averaging 18.3 PPG and eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ form of late has been concerning, as they enter this match following back-to-back losses, with the most recent being a 117-112 O/T defeat to the Kings.
The biggest problem for Minnesota is the support - or relative lack thereof - around Anthony Edwards, who scored 43 points against Sacramento, but the side still lost by five.
In that same match, none of Julius Randle (5-13), Donte DiVincenzo (5-14) or Jaden McDaniels (3-10) managed to convert above 40% of their shots.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves have a fully fit roster for this match, but they’ve lost two in a row ahead of this one and have not really done much this season to suggest that they can hand OKC their first home loss of the season.
The Thunder are still without Williams, Nikola Topic and Aaron Wiggins, but they just keep churning out results with SGA pulling the strings. The line set is a little hefty for our liking, but we still fancy the champs to get the win. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is Oklahoma City Thunder -5.5.
If your team in the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
