Premium Pick

The teams split four meetings this season, but Minnesota covered the last three, including a 131-128 victory in overtime on Feb. 24 the last time they met. The Timberwolves have had five days rest and that means a lot for a team that ran out of gas in last year's playoffs after a grueling seven-game series against Denver. The Timberwolves then lost in five games to Dallas. Minnesota is on a 6-2 ATS run and it has won 12 of 17 outright against Oklahoma City. The Timberwolves are 15-5 ATS versus Western Conference opponents and 9-2 ATS against the Northwest Division. The Thunder are 1-4 ATS their past five playoff games as favorites of 5.0-10.5 points and they will have only one day to recover from their seven-game series with Denver. Take the points with the Timberwolves.
