The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center Wednesday in the season opener for both teams. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Timberwolves odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Thunder enter the season amid a rebuild with an extremely young roster. Oklahoma City posted a 24-58 record last season and there aren’t lofty expectations this season for a team that is focused on building its roster through the draft.
The Timberwolves have heightened expectations this season with the acquisition of C Rudy Gobert in a trade with the Utah Jazz, especially after going 46-36 a season ago. Minnesota is also expecting SG Anthony Edwards to make major strides as he enters his 3rd season in the NBA.
