The Thunder sneaked a 2-point win in Game 4 during the most exciting contest of the series.

OKC jumped to a 37-30 lead in the first quarter and extended the lead to 8 by the end of the first half. The Timberwolves cut it to five by the end of the third quarter. <\/p><p>They managed to cut the deficit to two points with less than 20 seconds in the game, but the Thunder smartly fouled them to prevent them from taking a three-point shot. <\/p><p>Thus, the strategy of fouling to concede two free throws instead of allowing a three-point shot didn&rsquo;t backfire like it did in Game 1 of the WCSF against the Denver Nuggets.<\/p><p>It was the bench show for the Timberwolves. Their aces, Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle (5 points) combined for just 21 points, shooting 1\/10 from the three-point line, while committing 5 turnovers apiece.<\/p><p> However, Jaden McDaniels, Donte DiVicenzo, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker stepped up with a 21-23 points range each. It was a huge shame that the main offensive options let such strong efforts go to waste.<\/p><p>Interestingly, the Timberwolves made two more threes on an exceptional 43.9% from deep and also converted six more free throws than the Thunder. However, they committed seven more turnovers, giving the visitors more field goal opportunities. <\/p><p>OKC has now forced 20+ turnovers for the second time this series and has already broken the record for forced TO this postseason. It will give them a huge edge in Game 5. <\/p><p>Oh, by the way, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recovered from a 14-point sub-par night through a 40-point effort, while Jalen Williams had 34 to their team up 3-1.<\/p><p><strong>Timberwolves Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Mike Conley | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Anthony Edwards |<strong> <\/strong><strong>&nbsp;SF:<\/strong> Jaden McDaniels | <strong>PF: <\/strong>Julius Randle<strong> | C: <\/strong>Rudy Gobert<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: SG: <\/strong>Nickeil Alexander-Walker, <strong>SG<\/strong>: Donte DiVincenzo, <strong>C:<\/strong> Naz Reid.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing to report as such.<\/p><p><strong>Thunder Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Shai-Gilgeous Alexander | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Luguentz Dort | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Jalen Williams | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Chet Holmgren | <strong>C<\/strong>: Isaiah Hartenstein<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: SG:<\/strong> Cason Wallace<strong>, SG: <\/strong>Alex Caruso<strong>,&nbsp; SG: <\/strong>Aaron Wiggins.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing significant to report<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves Total Over\/Under Prediction- NBA Best Bets<\/strong><\/h2><p>The last game yielded a series-high 254 points. It was the first time both squads crossed 110+ at the same time. The Thunder has now done it three out of four times, while the Timberwolves have done it twice. <\/p><p>However, the bookmakers are sticking to an early 220ish projections for the game, pretty much the same as last game. As for me, I see the total going &ldquo;Over&rsquo; for the fourth straight game.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Total: <\/strong><a

A 16-point performance in Game 4 was a disappointment after he had scored 30 or more in two straight games. Overall, Edwards has gone &ldquo;Over&rdquo; the 26.5 mark in just 6 of the 14 games, but I see him do it in Game 5.<\/p><p><strong>Chet Holmgren to score over 15.5 points: <\/strong>Holmgren had a strong 21-point performance in Game 4, his second 20 or more performance of the series. I see him scoring in the 16-19 range for Game 5.<\/p><p><strong>Nickeil Alexander-Walker to score over 9.5 points: <\/strong>NAW has more than done his job off the bench. He scored 23 in Game 4, and had scored 12 points in Game 3 while contributing 17 in Game 2.
