The sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves will face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. PST at Paycom Center.
The Thunder lead the series 3-1 after a 128-126 win in Game 4, pushing the Timberwolves to the brink of elimination. Minnesota managed to cover the spread as 3-point underdogs, and the Over (219) has hit in the last three games.
Thunder MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander starred in Game 4 with 40 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. Jalen Williams added 34 points and hit 6-of-9 from three-point range.
The Timberwolves shot 51.2% from the field, led by Jaden McDaniels’ 22 points and Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s 23 off the bench.
Considering the Timberwolves +8.5 points is worth a look, as they aim to keep their season alive. Although a win in Oklahoma City seems unlikely, they should be able to stay within single digits.
After covering in their last two outings, the Timberwolves will be eager to perform better than in their earlier games at Paycom Center.
Take the Timberwolves to cover the spread and keep this one close.
