The Timberwolves don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Thunder vs Timberwolves Prediction

The Thunder continue to win at an insane rate, but they’re just 10-8 ATS on the season. OKC isn’t covering numbers the way it has in recent years. The Timberwolves are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and they should have a nasty taste in their mouth after blowing a big lead to the Kings. The Timberwolves are one team that’s had some recent success against the Thunder, winning 4 of the last 10 meetings. We’re also seeing SGA on the injury report and while this line suggests he’s going to play, he’s clearly not 100 percent. Give me the points with the Timberwolves.
