Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
January 13th, 2020

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Free Pick & Prediction 01/13/20

Mike McDermott Mike McDermott

It will be a battle between Northwest Division opponents when the Minnesota Timberwolves (15-23) welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder (22-17) to the Target Center. The game can be seen on Fox Sports – North at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, January 13, 2020.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Prediction

The Thunder were not able to cover as 9-point favorites in their 125-110 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in their last outing. The game’s combined points (235) came in well over the O/U total of 214. Los Angeles won the rebounding battle. The Lakers had 12 offensive rebounds and 54 total rebounds, while the Thunder had five and 37, respectively. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was Oklahoma City’s leading scorer with 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting.

The last time the Timberwolves took the court, they got blown out by the Houston Rockets, 139-109. They failed to cover as 11-point underdogs. The game’s total points (248) came in well over the O/U total of 232. Houston’s effective field goal percentage was their largest advantage over Minnesota. The Rockets had a rate of 0.611 (above their season average of 0.538), while the Timberwolves posted a mark of 0.447 (below their season average of 0.503). With 16 points on 5-for-11 shooting, Josh Okogie was Minnesota’s leading scorer.

This will be the second game of the season between these two teams. Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 30 points, eight assists and five rebounds in the first game, in which the Timberwolves lost 139-127, unable to cover as 3.5-point underdogs. The game finished with a total of 266 points, which was 49 points above the projected point total of 217 points. The Thunder knocked down 36 of their 40 free throws (90.0 percent) and had a better turnover percentage (8.7 vs. 11.0).

Oklahoma City heads into the contest with records of 22-17 straight up (SU) and 25-13-1 against the spread (ATS). Vegas is known to set the total high when the Thunder are playing, as 59.0 percent of their contests have finished under the O/U total.

Meanwhile, Minnesota owns records of 15-23 SU and 16-20-2 ATS. In opposition of Oklahoma City, just over half of Timberwolves games have finished over the total.

Both teams have had a player take their game to the next level over their last five games. Steven Adams (15 points,13.2 rebounds) has been great for the Thunder while Robert Covington (15 points,7.0 rebounds,2.4 steals) has contributed greatly to the Timberwolves.

This contest should be a battle of contrasting paces. Minnesota has preferred to play quickly (first in possessions per game), while Oklahoma City has been slower-paced (25th in possessions per game). Also, the Thunder are among the league’s best at getting to the line, ranking fourth in free throw attempt (FTA) rate (0.226). The Timberwolves, meanhwile, rank 22nd at keeping opponents off the charity stripe with an opponents’ FTA rate of 0.215.
