Result:
LOSS

Many thought the demise of the Oklahoma City Thunder was under way after Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Well, as long as Russell Westbrook is in the house, that won't be the case. The Thunder are 24-16 on the season, heading for Minnesota. The Timberwolves have not been in the playoffs for over a decade, and are the worst home dog in the NBA for a period starting with the 2005 season where they are a woeful 91-151-5 ATS. They certainly have not handled the Thunder very well as they are 1-12 SU in the last 13 meetings, and if it turns out to be close down the stretch, I would rather have Westbrook with the ball in his hands. Make the play on Oklahoma City.
