Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Venue: Paycom Center
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder
Bookmaker: 1xbet

Oklahoma is approaching its upcoming conference badly. The team has lost four games in a row. Still, those losses make sense, as the Thunder have faced tough opponents like the Mavericks (114-121), Cleveland (102-110), Memphis (102-123), and Miami (108-110). With these results, the club is thirteenth in the West. When making predictions about Oklahoma, it’s worth noting that the team has one of the poorly defenses in the league. Opponents average roughly 117 points per game.

Minnesota has flopped lately. The club has won just three of its ten games despite a few strong opponents. Because of such an unfortunate stretch, Minnesota ended up in 11th place in the West. In making predictions for Minnesota, it’s worth noting that the team has had some trouble defensively this season: opponents have averaged about 117 points per game.

Neither team is at its best. If Oklahoma has lost its last four, Minnesota can only win three of its last ten. However, Oklahoma’s loss made sense, as the club faced tough opponents such as Dallas, Cleveland, Memphis, and Miami and still managed to hold their own. In turn, Minnesota lost to a weaker opponent.

The Thunder at home shouldn’t be any worse and will win this match.
