Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. OKC Thunder NBA Prediction:
This matchup offers a great look at the two Cinderella squads sitting in first (Wolves) and third (Thunder) in the highly competitive Western Conference. While some teams have regressed to the mean these two franchises continue to excel and gather wins to maintain their positions.
On paper, the Thunder are a more balanced two-way squad but the Wolves are the envy of the association possessing the top-rated defense which has led to some close wins in clutch time.
Minny’s size could be an issue for OKC — and yes I’ll keep harping for Sam Presti to add a veteran big man who can deal with big bodies so Mark Daigneault has the option to play Chet Holmgren at the four.
All that said, this match offers a litmus test of where the teams stand versus each other and I’m going to roll with the home team to win because KAT is questionable, but take the points.
