With absolute dominance of the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder bid farewell to 2024 by playing on New Year's Eve at the Paycom Center against the Timberwolves. Right now, no team has a better streak than the Thunder, who after falling on December 1st won the next 11 games and will seek, apart from their 12th consecutive W, their 26th victory of the year.

Being a well-meshed and electric team, much of this year's success can be attributed to Gilgeous-Alexander. Despite Jokic's good season with the Nuggets, some claim that Gilgeous-Alexander also has a solid case to win the MVP. Only Antetokounmpo surpasses Gilgeous-Alexander's 31.0 points per game, who scored 35 points to go along with 6 rebounds and 7 assists against the Grizzlies in a December 29 victory on December 26. That was another night of great collective basketball for the Thunder, where 7 different players scored in double digits.

Meanwhile, the unpredictable T-Wolves team has a 17-14 record but a good streak of 3 games that they will take to Oklahoma to end their 2024 schedule. These conference rivals have not crossed paths since far away January.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Thunder could very well cover again. In the betting, they have a 20-9-3 ATS record. However, the T-wolves are a tricky team, often winning as underdogs and losing as favorites. In the last two road games Edwards had notable performances, scoring 26 points against the Mavs and 24 against the Rockets. After a 130-point game for the Thunder, another Game Total Over to close out 2024 seems possible. Our prediction for Thunder vs Timberwolves is: Over 216.5 points.

Prediction:

 

Over 216.5
