Advice and prediction

The Timberwolves deserve some good fortune, which they’re likely to get in this match-up. As a team known for their frequent three-point attempts, they’ve faced considerable misfortune recently. However, history suggests that supporting cast members tend to perform better when playing at home, providing them with improved chances of success. Falling behind 3-0 would be disastrous, so expect an intense effort from them. Anthony Edwards is set for a standout display, bolstered by increased confidence among Minnesota’s reserves. Despite Oklahoma City’s recent superiority and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s exceptional playmaking, keeping the contest tight shouldn’t come easy enough to secure victory. Consequently, OKC is expected to lose this initial encounter; splitting games during their visit to Minneapolis could still make the journey worthwhile.


Prediction:

Thunder 117, Timberwolves 111
