BETTING TRENDS
Minnesota are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Minnesota's last 8 games on the road.
Oklahoma City are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games.
Oklahoma City are 0-3-2 ATS last 5 games at home.
Prediction
The Twolves are playing their best basketball right now and have won 10 of their last 14 games, their only problem is the defense, they are aloowing more than 120 ppg in their last games but that shouldn't be a problem with a Thunder offense that is averaging 107.9 ppg in their last 10 games. The Twolves offense is much superior and will prevail on this game.
PICK: Timberwolves -7.5 (-110)
