The Oklahoma City Thunder doesn’t need to win. The Thunder are playing at their own pleasure.
The only thing that will save Minnesota is a successful game. That’s the only way for the Wolves to keep their playoff chances alive. Since the Timberwolves are more motivated, they will be the better team.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have always been considered a high-scoring team. Scoring about 120 points for the Wolves is not that difficult. Oklahoma surprised us in the last meeting, too. With that in mind, we think the 227.5-point mark will be broken.
The Timberwolves have scored more than 118.5 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
The Oklahoma City Thunder has been good sometimes. For example, the Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets in their last game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Robey played well. Between them, the two players scored 55 points. Their play helped them to defeat the Nuggets (119-107).

Minnesota Timberwolves:
The Minnesota Timberwolves are still trying to make the playoffs. They are still two wins away from the Denver Nuggets. The Wolves have yet to erase that handicap.
