The Minnesota Timberwolves play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Target Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Timberwolves vs Thunder prediction.

Oklahoma City Thunder 

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been a team on the rise as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their six-game win streak halted by the 76ers in a 127-123 loss on Saturday. Chet Holmgren led the team with 33 points on 13 of 21 shooting, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 points with five assists while Isaiah Joe chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Thunder shot just 43 percent from the field and 16 of 43 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the 76ers in the first half, before things started to crumble in the third quarter where they managed just 21 points. The Thunder poured in 41 points in the fourth quarter to cut a 13-point deficit to just two points, but just couldn’t get over the hump.

Anthony Edwards led the team with 24 points and seven assists, Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points on seven of 11 shooting while Mike Conley tallied 18 points with 10 assists. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 53 percent from the field and 15 of 34 from the 3-point line as they jumped out to an immediate double-digit lead and just never looked back as they built a 26-point lead, before they rested some starters early.

Peter’s Pick

We’re in for a good contest as both teams are coming into this meeting with winning momentum. The Timberwolves have home-court advantage and they are coming fresh off a blowout win over the lowly Grizzlies, while the Thunder were on a roll before a narrow loss to the 76ers. It’s hard to split these two teams at the moment, but I think the edge has to go to the Timberwolves who have won seven of their eight home games so far this season.
