Thunder vs. Timberwolves Predictions for NBA on Prime, 12/19

After failing to avenge their NBA Cup loss last season, the Thunder “fell” to 24-2 this year. Following that loss to the San Antonio Spurs, they were able to have five days off before last night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. They also haven’t had a true road game in exactly two weeks.

Even without those benefits, it’s going to be difficult for any fan not to back OKC with their Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions given how impressive they’ve looked en route to defending their title. Of course, Minnesota still can’t be ignored with some household names themselves.

However, will Anthony Edwards play tonight? Admittedly, since there was hope that he would play on Wednesday night, we’re holding out hope that we’ll be able to see all the stars on the court tonight. Who suits up is obviously a major factor in locking in a best bet from our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions, but we’ve still found a way to do so.

 

 

 

Thunder vs. Timberwolves Best Bet: OKC Team Total Over 119.5 Points (-112 at Novig)

Despite being significant favorites over the Memphis Grizzlies and winning much of the game back on Wednesday night, the Anthony Edwards-less Timberwolves were upset. Minnesota hasn’t been terrible when he’s missed time this season, but trying to bounce back against the juggernaut that is OKC is a tall task.

Therefore, the status of Anthony Edwards is certainly a major factor for any Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions. Even with him on the court, Minnesota lost in just five games in last year’s Western Conference Finals, and they were unable to get any revenge when they played OKC just after Thanksgiving.

They lost by eight, so for what it’s worth, the Thunder did NOT cover the 10.5-point spread, and the game also stayed under the total. OKC is winning these matchups by keeping Julius Randle in check - he’s scored just 10 and 11 points in their last two regular-season games and was held to less than six rebounds per game in their playoff series.

That really makes life tough when Anthony Edwards isn’t 100% healthy, and if Julius Randle can’t be his physical self against OKC, we expect them to score at will. Being on the second night of a back-to-back isn't ideal, but again, they had a ton of rest prior to last night’s game. We also don’t mind the bit of a reduced line because of that and being on the road.

For a market to keep things simple but also isolate things a bit more than the standard markets, we’ve got OKC’s team total over 119.5 points (-112 at Novig) as the best bet from our Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions.

Thunder vs. Timberwolves Injury Report & Latest News

As with any matchup, especially this one, given the Anthony Edwards issue, we need the latest Thunder vs. Timberwolves injury news. Minnesota has listed him as questionable, and we already know that Mike Conley is OUT.

As for Thunder vs. Timberwolves injury updates in OKC, both Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams missed last night’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The former was just for rest, while the latter was due to heel bursitis, so it’s more likely that we see Hartenstein return than Williams. Either way, always check in with the Fantasy Alarm NBA injury report!
