Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves 3/9/2022 Betting Odds

Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Oklahoma City Thunder	+13.5 (-111)	229.5 o (-110)	+700
Minnesota Timberwolves	-13.5 (-111)	229.5 u (-110)	-1200

The Oklahoma City Thunder are now placed second to the last in the NBA Western Conference with their record at 20-45. The only team they are above the standings are the Houston Rockets and they are coming in this game against the Minnesota Timberwolves carrying a three-game losing streak. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still the best player on the team but he has legitimate help coming from rookie Josh Giddey and the Australian player is having a hard time keeping himself on the floor showing signs of being injury-prone. Winning is not a priority right now for the Thunder and expects them to take their chances to add young firepower in the draft lottery.
