The Minnesota Timberwolves have had an ugly January, but much of that consternation would be wiped away with an upset of the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight.
While Minnesota is at a scheduling disadvantage, OKC is a bit shorthanded.
My Thunder vs. Timberwolves predictions see a path for Minnesota’s best player to attack.
Let's break down my NBA picks for Thursday, January 29.
Thunder vs Timberwolves predictionThunder vs Timberwolves best bet: Anthony Edwards Over 25.5 points (-125)
Even though Anthony Edwards has been managing some foot pain, he has cleared this prop in three of his last five games.
Frankly, this prop is at least a bucket lower than usual for Edwards, a nod to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s defense. But he has still scored at least 30 points in three of his last six games against OKC and cleared this prop in a fourth.
Edwards often finds things tougher against Alex Caruso, whose disciplined on-ball pressure disrupts drives without sending opponents to the line, a Thunder staple.
But with Caruso ruled out due to a right adductor strain, Edwards should see a few more clear paths to the basket. And a few more clear paths to the basket should get Edwards into a rhythm that should clear 30 points tonight.
