[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Timberwolves Moneyline” subtext=”Thunder vs. Timberwolves, 8:30 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/nba-updated-logo-minnesota-timberwolves.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/minnesota-timberwolves” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
The Timberwolves managed to stay competitive in the first halves of Games 1 and 2 but were outscored heavily in the third quarter of both contests.
Now, trailing 2-0 in the series, Minnesota returns home in a true must-win scenario, needing a bounce-back performance to stay alive.
Despite the double-digit losses, we’re backing the Wolves at home tonight as slight 2.5-point underdogs.
Minnesota has played its best basketball on its home court this season and should come out with added intensity and urgency in front of its fans.
Pick: Timberwolves Moneyline (+120)
[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points” subtext=”Thunder vs. Timberwolves, 8:30 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/nba-updated-logo-minnesota-timberwolves.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/minnesota-timberwolves” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
There’s great value on this prop at plus-money, making it a solid buy-low opportunity.
Julius Randle has had a strong postseason overall but struggled in Game 2, shooting just 2-for-11 and seeing limited fourth-quarter minutes as a result.
Back at home tonight, Randle is in a prime spot for a bounce-back performance.
The veteran forward should see increased usage and minutes, and our Action Pro Report projects him for 21.1 points in this critical matchup.
Pick: Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-120)
