Prediction
The Timberwolves lost the first game of their last series before winning four straight. They may not win this game, but I believe they will put forth a better effort and keep this close. Minnesota is 6-3 ATS in their last nine games overall, while the Thunder are just 3-7 ATS over the last month. I like this to be a lower scoring game, so give me the points.
Pick: Timberwolves +7.5
