The Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 8:00 p.m. ET at Target Center. The Timberwolves are expected to win (but not by much) so they better bring their A-game into this one.
The Timberwolves had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.3 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Thursday. They enjoyed a cozy 118-103 victory over Memphis. The win came about thanks to a strong surge starting at the 3:47 mark of the first quarter, when the Timberwolves were facing a 27-14 deficit.

Minnesota has been performing well recently as they’ve won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 30-11 record this season. As for Oklahoma City, their victory bumped their record up to 28-13.
Saturday’s match is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: The Timberwolves just can’t miss this season, having made 49.2% of their shots per game. However, it’s not like the Thunder (currently ranked second in field goal percentage per game) struggle in that department as they’ve made 50.8% of their shots per game this season. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Timberwolves might still be hurting after the devastating 129-106 loss they got from the Thunder when the teams last played back in December of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 34 points along with nine assists and six rebounds. Now that the Timberwolves know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There’s only one way to find out.
