The Timberwolves have looked really good in their games this season with their 12-4 record overall which has them at the top of the West right now. They have also looked great on their home court with their 7-1 home record and they will have some momentum from their win in their last game which was a bounce back win after a loss that snapped their win streak that surged them into 1st place in the West. Meanwhile, the Thunder have also looked great this season with their 11-5 record overall which has them at 2nd place in the West. The Thunder have also looked great in their road games with their 6-1 road record but they did just drop their last game on their home court to the 76ers. The Thunder have improved a lot but they are still overachieving to start this season while the Timberwolves do have a really good team that can compete in the West and they are finally putting everything together. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.
