Thunder vs Timberwolves Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets: Take Oklahoma City -8, Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points Feb 13

The Thunder are rolling, winning five straight and looking every bit like a top contender. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are still grinding out wins despite missing some key pieces. With Oklahoma City also dealing with a few questionable players, this one could get interesting – but my NBA betting tips still point to another Thunder victory.

Let’s break down these Thunder vs Timberwolves odds and see if Minnesota can actually slow down Oklahoma City this time.

Thunder vs Timberwolves Prediction

In their previous matchup, Oklahoma City won by eight, and I expect a similar outcome here. Minnesota’s defense is no joke, ranking fifth in points allowed, but the Thunder still reign at the top, holding teams to just 104.8 points per game.

The real problem for the Wolves? Scoring. The Thunder’s offense is coming with more fuel in the tank, and with Minnesota missing key role players, like PF Julius Randle (per updated Thunder vs. Timberwolve injuries) that will be the deciding factor. Final score: Thunder 116, Timberwolves 107.

Thunder vs Timberwolves 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-108)

If you like making money, your first NBA player prop should be PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to score over 31.5 points. He’s been torching defenses all season, and even against Minnesota’s physical squad, he dropped a 40-ball last time. Hitting that mark again? Not likely. But reaching 32? Easy money. Expect the Wolves to make Gilgeous-Alexander work for it on the offensive end, but don’t be shocked when he hits the 32-point mark like he has a lot this season.

Bet on Shai Gilgeos-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-108)

2. Jaden McDaniels Under 1.5 Made 3s (-130)

The Timberwolves’ offense will have to kick it into overdrive tonight, facing the league’s top defense. That’s bad news for PF Jaden McDaniels, making him a strong NBA player prop pick tonight to finish under 1.5 made 3-pointers. McDaniels has been shaky from long range, hitting just 4-of-13 in his last four games, and with the Thunder holding teams to a league-best 33% from deep, expect him to stay ice-cold.

3. Rudy Gobert Under 11.5 Points (-127)

Of all the matchups, C Rudy Gobert might have the trickiest assignment. While Minnesota’s defense will be trying to slow down Gilgeous-Alexander, Gobert has to handle Oklahoma City C Isaiah Hartenstein – who can match him on the boards and make him work for every basket. With Hartenstein’s tough defense, don’t expect Gobert to light up the scoring sheet. If you’re looking to bet online, lock in Gobert to stay under 11.5 points.

Thunder vs Timberwolves Moneyline Pick

The Thunder are the better team on both ends and have already handled Minnesota once. With SG Donte DiVincenzo and PF Julius Randle, the Timberwolves are missing key players that could have helped keep this close. Home court or not, they’re at a disadvantage. Oklahoma City has the clear advantage on both ends of the floor – take them on the moneyline.

Thunder vs Timberwolves Spread Pick

The Thunder have the edge in scoring, defense, and guarding the 3-point shot. Add in the Wolves’ injury issues, and this one leans even further Oklahoma City’s way. Edwards can’t do it alone, and with both Gilgeous-Alexander and F Jalen Williams (21.1 points per game) healthy, the Thunder have too much firepower. Ride with Oklahoma City to cover the spread.

Bet on Thunder -8 vs Timberwolves

Thunder vs Timberwolves Over/Under Pick

Two top-five defenses, one injury-plagued offense – yeah, this one game is screaming the under. The Oklahoma City defense has been suffocating all season, and with Minnesota coming into this one light on the offensive end, it’s hard to see them keeping up. Sure, SG Anthony Edwards will get his points, but Minnesota’s offense isn’t built to thrive in this matchup. The Thunder will handle their end, but the Wolves? Not so much. Take the under.
