It seems like every day brings another great Western Conference matchup. On Thursday, the featured game would be the NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder at the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder are 38-10 but only 14-9 in their last 23. They are 17-6 on the road and average better than 120 points per game while allowing less than 108.
Don’t be fooled by the last 23. They have gotten better over the last 10, going 7-3. Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are 29-19 and coming off a win over the Dallas Mavericks. These teams have split their first two meetings, scoring a total of 218 and 219 points in those games. The NBA odds have landed with OKC as a six-point road favorite. The totals sit at 225½. Based on the first two games, the under is interesting.
