Prediction for the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves match which will take place on December 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Oklahoma City Thunder

In the previous game, the Thunder hosted Los Angeles Lakers at home and suffered a crushing defeat. Oklahoma had a difference of 23 points in the third quarter, and at the end of the game, it could catch up a little because the opponent relaxed. 120:129 - this game showed that despite their high standings, the Thunder are not yet among the candidates for high achievements this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves also lost - on the road to Philadelphia (113:127) but then managed to win two in a row. Chris Finch's team beat the same Los Angeles Lakers (118:111) and was stronger than Sacramento on the road, where one of the best attacks of the season missed less than a hundred points - 110:98.

Unlike the Thunder, the Wolves look like a team capable of surprising this season. Minnesota has a great defense - 106.6 points per game, the best in the league.

Expert Bettin Tips

Oklahoma's main problem this season has been defending the three-point arc. Even Minnesota, which doesn't shoot the ball well from long range, shot 14 times from beyond the arc in their first meeting with the Thunder. We bet on Michael Conley's TO, who usually breaks his season standard of 11.5 points per game against teams with poor perimeter defense.
