Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder Preview

The Timberwolves are doing a decent job lately

The Timberwolves will enter the game after playing against the Milwaukee Bucks on the previous night. Before that, they lost to the Eastern Conference top squad Cleveland Cavaliers by 21 points, breaking a three-game winning streak. Apart from the three-game spell, the Wolves have already stamped a five-game winning streak just a couple of weeks ago, implying their improved performances. They have a terrific chance of entering the top-six ranks in the West especially due to the declining play of the LA Clippers. Anthony Edwards has been a one-man army but role players Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels have done a decent job lately in the absence of Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

The Thunder have championship pedigree but will they lift the title?

The Thunder will face the Minnesota Timberwolves after the game after squaring off against the Miami Heat on the previous night. Before that, they had beaten the New Orleans Pelicans by 36 points as Shai-Gilgeous Alexander poured in 31 points. SGA is looking like an early candidate for the MVP award and has received tremendous help from Jalen Williams. The return of Chet Holmgren bolsters the defense while also supplying an offensive upgrade but the Thunder coaching staff is careful about his return. There is no doubt that the squad is the best two-way squad in the league by far.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
