The Minnesota Timberwolves (11-11) may not have dominated in the early going of the 2022-23 NBA season so far, but the team has taken care of business when facing the Oklahoma City Thunder(9-13). Despite the Thunder surprising many with an early season record of 9-13, the Timberwolves have won both games this season between these two NBA Northwest Division Rivals.
But the third time is the charm.
The Timberwolves may or may not be underwhelming to this point in the season for many NBA fans, but the Oklahoma City Thunder may be the NBA’s overachievers so far this season. Believed to be among the worst NBA teams of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Thunder have already won nine games, many of those victories coming at the expense of projected NBA Playoff contenders.
Timberwolves Injury Report vs Thunder Game 23
Timberwolves (per Timberwolves Injury report)
- PF/C Karl Anthony Towns (Calf) – OUT
- PG Jordan McLaughlin (Calf) – Questionable
- PF Taurean Prince (Shoulder) – OUT
Thunder
- C Mike Muscala (Foot) – OUT
- PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Hip) – Questionable
That is the extent of injuries reported for this one.
The Timberwolves may be without team leader Karl-Anthony Towns, but the team managed a very impressive and surprising short-handed victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Now, the Timberwolves get to see if that was a one-off anomaly, or whether it was a sign of the pieces finally beginning to fall together for this team.

Recommended Bets:
While this is the third meeting between these two teams, this matchup is on quite different terms than their first two contests. While the Timberwolves did win their last game, the Thunder did as well, defeating the pesky San Antonio Spurs. I don’t like that spread, as the Timberwolves could win, but not with a great margin. In their previous two games, at full strength, the teams combined for 222 and 223 points. So I like the under here. And I do like the Timberwolves to win outright, so if you want to wager, I say:
Take the Thunder on the Money Line (-250) to win
Take the Under at 232.0 points (-110)
