Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been covering machines all season long, and it's hard to turn down free points with them. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves are 17-2 SU at home and it's even tougher to fade them in these spots as long as the chalk is reasonable. The Timberwolves have also won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Thunder. I simply need more points to pull the trigger on OKC. Give me the Minnesota Timberwolves.
