Game outlook

Tuesday night’s matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the most anticipated games of the week. Both teams are coming off of strong starts to the season, with the Thunder sitting at 11-5 and the Timberwolves at 12-4, and just a single game separating them in the standings. Minnesota has had the upper hand in their meetings, dominating last season’s series with four out of five wins, and will be looking to carry this success over into Tuesday's game. NBA fans are sure to be excited for this matchup, and picking out the most valuable bets can be aided by taking a look at our NBA predictions.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Thunder +138 | Timberwolves -160

Spread: Thunder +3.5 (-110) | Timberwolves -3.5 (-110)

Total: Over/Under 227 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that Minnesota will win straight-up is 62%.

Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder are off to one of their better starts in recent memory with an 11-5 overall record and a 6-1 road record. Led by the potential MVP-type season of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (30.4 ppg) and the emergence of Chet Holmgren (18.1 ppg, 8 rpg), the team is taking advantage of their opportunities well and rank highly in field-goal percentage, three-point percentage and free-throw percentage. Although they carry a pair of injuries into their upcoming match up with Minnesota, their defensive ranking of 2nd in field-goal percentage and 34.10% in three-pointers suggests they are well-positioned to find success.

Minnesota Timberwolves Analysis

Minnesota Timberwolves has exceeded expectations so far this season with a 12-4 record and one of the best home marks in the NBA, 7-1. The team has been successful due to a strong defense and efficient offense, ranking first in field-goal percentage defense and sixth in field-goal percentage offense. Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns have each been major contributors, averaging 26.6 and 21.8 ppg, respectively. Oklahoma City is the next challenge for Minnesota, who hope to leverage last season's success against the Thunder and take advantage of an easier part of the schedule.

Thunder Aim to Take Down Minnesota with Key Strengths and 7-Game Road Win Streak

The Thunder enter this matchup one game behind Minnesota and are likely to come away with the win. Their key strengths are the presence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Theo Holmgren, and the team’s offensive efficiency. Not only do these pieces offer viable options, but they provide confidence and momentum. Furthermore, the Thunder are well-suited to compete on the road; they’ve covered the spread in six out of their last seven games. This trend indicates that they’ll have no problem keeping up on the road.
