*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, January 19th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, January 20th.
OKC Thunder
The victory in Utah was big as the Thunder avoided committing their first three-game losing streak this season and did it against a team who’ve been on a roll. That said the two losses in LA offered further evidence for Sam Presti that he needs to add some height to his frontcourt.
Although Chet Holmgren has played better than advertised he looks to be wearing down a bit having to face the likes of Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic. Saturday he’ll be tasked with the double threat of Minnesota towers Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Presti has taken the long-term, patience approach but at this point it would be a disservice to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the overachieving Thunder to avoid adding a big — even a minimum contracted big man.
Thunder Stats
The Thunder ranks fourth on offense (120.1), and sixth on defense (112.0) while they offer a plus +8.1 net differential registering third overall.
In terms of the Thunder’s performance against the spread, they are a strong bet with a 27-13-1 record through 41 matches.
Thunder Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Luguentz Dort, SG (questionable — illness)
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards has served up two separate dunks this week that could arguably both win dunk of the year. The Wolves have won four in a row and finally turned the page on facing teams who were all over .500.
Still, if there is a move to be made prior to the trade deadline it would be add an offensive threat to help bolster that end of the court.
Timberwolves Stats
Minnesota ranks 19th on offense (114.4) and first defensively (108.6) while they are a plus +5.8 net differential, ranking fourth overall.
The Wolves are riding the middle with a 21-19-1 record against the spread through 41 matches this season.
Timberwolves Injury Report

Free OKC Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:”
The odds of these two squads facing each other in the postseason are slim. They would both have to retain their current seeding and then reach the Conference Finals. For two young clubs without much postseason experience that seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
In the interim, this third meeting offers another litmus test for the top two Western teams.
Size and home advantage are ruling in the Wolves favor so I’ll tap them for the win and to cover.
