Thunder vs. Timberwolves Predictions for NBA on Prime, 1/29

You may have already gotten a reminder of last year’s Western Conference Finals, given that this will be the third meeting between OKC and Minnesota. That certainly doesn’t make predictions any less important, as they may find themselves in that spot again. After all, we always love an opportunity to add to our NBA expert picks.

After OKC cruised through the Western Conference Finals 4-1, they also took down Minnesota in their rematch about a month into the season. However, Minnesota was able to finally get their revenge shortly before Christmas, making them one of the few teams to beat Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company this season.

Playing the defending champs is a tall enough task, and it’s even more difficult to support Minnesota with any Thunder vs. Timberwolves picks given that they were just on the court last night. That was an extremely smooth victory over the Dallas Mavericks, and OKC is coming off a victory on Tuesday night. 

That said, SGA’s guys actually lost back-to-back games prior to that, one of which came against the lowly Indiana Pacers! As you can see, there is plenty to consider to lock in a best bet from our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions.
 

Thunder vs. Timberwolves Best Bet: Anthony Edwards Over 25.5 Points (-122 at Novig)

Minnesota, being quite dominant last night, is sure to have them coming back home very confident, but they’re still dealing with the defending champs. That’s why you’ll see the Thunder vs. Timberwolves odds favoring OKC, and while the TWolves could keep things close, we’re just going to pinpoint their superstar with our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions.

Despite such a smooth win for Minnesota last night, it was more the Julius Randle show than anything. Similarly, since they were in command for so much of the game, it wasn’t one where Anthony Edwards needed to go off like he did a little over a week ago against the San Antonio Spurs with 55 points!

We’re also comfortable with making him the focus of our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions despite 20 points last night, given that he went over this prop in three of four games prior to that. Furthermore, he’s always gone hard against OKC. When these teams met earlier this year, he clearly wanted revenge for last year’s playoff loss.

The young stud averaged 28.5 points in those games (10 rebounds to boot)! So, for tonight, we’ve got Anthony Edwards over 25.5 points (-122 at Novig) as the best bet from our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions.
