Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

Oklahoma City is the clear favorite in this game and yet still looks to be the best betting option. It is no secret that the Thunder have been the best team in the NBA this season. Not only do they have the best overall record, but also have one of the best away records. The Thunder have continued to play well as of late, having gone 7-3 in their last 10 games.

Minnesota, on the other hand, has played well this season too, but has been inconsistent recently, having gone 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Timberwolves are also coming off a game on Wednesday; therefore, fatigue could be a factor here.

Therefore, given that Oklahoma City has been in better form compared to Minnesota, our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction is: Oklahoma City Thunder ML.
