Thunder to Clap Down on Visiting Timberwolves
Timberwolves vs Thunder Odds
With identical 32-14 records, the quality is expected to be high when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
Following a loss, the Thunder look to get back to winning form. Timberwolves vs Thunder odds have them at -2.5, so they’re not as dominant when it comes to betting as expected.
Minnesota looks to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to San Antonio, so NBA standings are on the line.

Is Minnesota the Real Deal?
NBA rumors always run amok when the Timberwolves lose a game they should win. That was the case when losing 113-112 to the Spurs as a heavy favorite.
It was a disappointing performance but not unexpected from a team that has failed to deliver on multiple occasions over the last few years.
They have been better this season, having posted just 14 losses. However, their last two losses came to the Spurs and Hornets, which can’t instill confidence in fans and bettors.
Their NBA point spread record is 23-23, so they do enough to keep bettors interested. However, that dips to 11-14 on the road, so improvement is needed.
We thought Timberwolves vs Thunder odds would have the Timberwolves around +4.5, so there is respect for the joint Northwest Division leaders alongside the Thunder.
Minnesota has a 1-2 record against the Thunder, with two games coming at home.
Thunder Eye Bounce Back
The winning run of the Thunder came to a crashing end when losing to the lowly Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
It ended an excellent stretch for the Thunder, who had firmed in considerably with NBA Championship betting markets.
However, we don’t think one loss will set them back too much, and they have played well against Minnesota.
They dropped the first meeting 106-103 before winning 129-106 and 102-97, which showcased their excellent defense.
Most of the attention has been on their offense, but when the Thunder defend well, they are one of the best teams in the competition.
Timberwolves vs Thunder odds have them as slight favorites, which is unexpected. They boast a 17-5 record at home and 30-16 ATS, including a 16-6 ATS home record.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is making a play for Most Valuable Player, and Chet Holmgren is one of the favorites for Rookie of the Year, so collectively, the Thunder have an imposing roster.
It could be good enough to handle the Timberwolves on Monday night.
Ride the Better Team
We think the Thunder is the best team in this matchup, as previous meetings showcase.
Despite losing to the Pistons, we have faith that returning home will be the catalyst for the Thunder to get back to their winning ways.
Minnesota is too unpredictable, and although that can produce a big performance, consistency could prevail.
There is good value with the home side with Timberwolves vs Thunder odds, so we’re jumping on the Thunder -2.5 before it moves close to game time.
They have one of the best ATS records in the NBA, so there’s no reason to jump off their backs.
The current total is 225.5, so include the over in your NBA picks. They’re two of the more high-powered offenses in the league, and we expect the offense to flow freely from the opening whistle.
