Scheduled to be played at the Paycom Center in OKC, both the teams will be looking to topple each other on matchday. This will be the fourth time these two teams will lock horns with each other. In the first two meetings, both the teams have secured a win in each of the games. However, they will also clash on Sunday, at the Target Center. Both the teams faced a contrasting fate in their last game. While the Thunder have secured a dominant victory over Utah Jazz, the Timberwolves succumbed to a loss against the Houston Rockets.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Prediction

The last time these two teams met, it was the Timberwolves who came out on top. While they secured a 116-101 win, they will once again look to build up on the lead. Looking at the Timberwolves, things do not look too promising for them. They have currently won 31 matches with 26 losses. This makes them rank 7th in the Western Conference. Thus, the Timberwolves will surely try to sneak in a win to consolidate their playoff chances.

Next up, the Oklahoma City Thunder are the leaders of the West. With an emphatic 45 wins and 10 losses record, Thunder is enjoying a healthy lead over all its opponents. At the moment, they are holding an 8.5 game lead over the Memphis Grizzlies, who is currently second on the list. Surely, Thunder too, will look to strengthen their lead further. And with both the team going for the kill, the audience will be treated to an absolute banger.
