Thunder vs Timberwolves

Grade B+: Thunder -7.5 (-110)

Oklahoma City has been the class of the Western Conference, and with their elite combination of defence and scoring, they should be able to handle the Timberwolves on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to play at an MVP level, while Chet Holmgren has been a difference-maker on both ends, especially against teams lacking a dominant interior presence. Minnesota has relied heavily on Anthony Edwards, but with OKC’s strong perimeter defence, led by Lu Dort, he may struggle to carry the offensive load efficiently. Additionally, the Wolves’ defence has been inconsistent against top-tier ball movement, and the Thunder’s high-paced attack should wear them down over four quarters. With the Timberwolves battling for playoff position but lacking the firepower to match OKC, the Thunder -7.5 (-110) is a B+ grade bet—good value in a game where OKC’s depth and efficiency should secure a comfortable win.
