Premium Pick

Oklahoma City took the first two games at home but is on a 4-7 spread run. Minnesota is a home dog for this must-win Game 3 and will lean on its defense, third in the playoffs in points given up and fifth in field goal shooting allowed. During the regular season, the Timberwolves were fifth in points surrendered, seventh in shooting allowed, and sixth at defending the 3-pointer. In addition, the offense is eighth from the free-throw line (76.9%) in the postseason, after being 10th (78.9%) during the regular season. Minnesota is on a 14-9 ATS run, including 8-2 ATS at home. Play Minnesota.
