Thunder vs Timberwolves

Grade A-: Thunder Moneyline (-285)

The Thunder are on a mission, boasting the NBA’s best record and showing no signs of slowing down. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been an offensive force, and with Chet Holmgren controlling the paint, OKC has dominated both ends of the floor. Minnesota, meanwhile, is fighting to stay in the Western Conference playoff mix but faces a tough challenge without one of their key interior presences. The Wolves will rely heavily on Anthony Edwards, but he faces a difficult matchup against Lu Dort’s elite perimeter defence, which has given him trouble in past meetings. Additionally, OKC’s ball movement and transition play should exploit Minnesota’s inconsistencies on defence. With both teams past the 50-game mark, the Thunder are eyeing the No. 1 seed, while the Wolves are trying to avoid the Play-In Tournament. Taking Oklahoma City at -285 gets an A- grade—not great value, but one of the safest bets on the board.
