The Timberwolves are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Thunder are 0-3-2 ATS in their last 5 home games and 35-17-4 ATS in their last 56 games overall. The over is 36-16 in Timberwolves last 52 overall. The over is 5-0-1 in Thunder last 6 overall. The Timberwolves are 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Oklahoma City and 2-5-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
I'm much more comfortable with the Minnesota Timberwolves as either underdogs or small favorites, but this line is an indication of just how bad things have gotten for OKC. The Oklahoma City Thunder are not only piling up the losses, but they're losing their last five games by an average of 6.6 points, and they lose at home by an average of 5.5 points. If the Timberwolves are really taking that next step and ready to be a playoff threat, they take care of business here. I'll lay the points.
