Thunder vs Timberwolves predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 115, Minnesota 108
OKC has lost its last two meetings with Minnesota, but the reigning champs are entering Sunday on a seven-game winning streak. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has consistently delivered in big-time moments. Chet Holmgren has provided elite rim protection. Bench players such as Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Jaylin Williams have shined. And the Thunder recently saw the return of a key contributor in Ajay Mitchell. OKC is playing great basketball, and I’m picking it to beat a Minnesota team that could be without Anthony Edwards at home.
