| Thunder vs. Timberwolves prediction | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Timberwolves +7.5 | -108 (DraftKings) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Julius Randle Over 18.5 points | -120 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Timberwolves +7.5 (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Timberwolves have covered two of their last three games without Edwards, who is expected to play tonight - a huge plus for Minnesota bettors.
While OKC has covered five of its last six games, it's just 1-2 ATS on the second night of a back-to-back and 3-5 ATS at a rest disadvantage. OKC will likely win straight up, but on the second night of a back-to-back, with Edwards returning, 7.5 points is too many.
Some of the best sports betting sites have dropped this line, which is why I took the best number at DraftKings.
Score prediction: Thunder 118, Timberwolves 114

Julius Randle Over 18.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Julius Randle has scored 21 or more points in six straight games, and Edwards was in the lineup for three of those outings, making this line an overreaction to Edwards returning tonight.
The Timberwolves forward has attempted 21 or more shots in back-to-back games. While that number will likely drop with Edwards returning, Randle has still attempted 15 or more field goals when playing alongside Minnesota's star guard.
This line is listed at 19.5 on most of the best sports betting apps, so I took the value with Randle on bet365.
🐺 Will Anthony Edwards play tonight?
Edwards (foot) is expected to return tonight, per Shams Charania, after missing the Timberwolves’ last three games. The last time he suited up for Minnesota, he scored 40 points in a 108–105 home loss to the Phoenix Suns on Dec. 8.
