The Minnesota Timberwolves’ loss in Game 1 of the West Finals means they must bounce back for the next meeting against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Anthony Edwards will be ready, as his ankle injury wasn’t that harsh.
Minnesota Timberwolves News
The T-Wolves were leveled with OKC in the middle of the third period. They even had a solid lead at first halftime, but as time passed, the guests lost their grip. They eventually broke down in the fourth period, allowing 38 points and scoring just 22.
Julius Randle had 28 points, while Edwards had just 18. He injured his ankle in the first period, got out briefly, yet came back and played, though visibly worse than usual.
OKC Thunder News
Thuner had Shai with 31 points. He went to the foul line 14 times, and the Timberwolves players were very upset with the officials’ criteria. To be honest, SGA did fish for a foul, and he got it on multiple occasions.
The Thunder had 50% of shooting from the field, scoring 41 of 82 of their shots. Jalen Williams ended the night with 19 points and 8 boards, with 5 steals too. He and Alex Caruso were a huge problem for the T-Wolves’ guards.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. OKC Thunder Betting Predictions
The Thunder have been very sharp on the defensive end, and we don’t think they will slow down, especially at home. The Timberwolves did poorly in the previous event, but they too know how to play tough defense, and they need show that now, otherwise, falling back two games would be a disaster for this unit. That’s why we pick under 213.5 points which is the totals line for this event.
