Thunder-Wolves Predictions and Preview (12/19)

The Thunder are 25-2 and have won 9 of their last 10 games. They’re not just winning—they’re dominating. In their last 5 games, OKC is averaging 129.6 PPG while holding opponents to just 105.6 PPG, a ridiculous +24.0 point differential.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing at an MVP level with 32.4 PPG, 6.4 APG, and 4.7 RPG. Chet Holmgren is anchoring the defense with 18.9 PPG, 8.0 RPG, and 1.4 BPG. The Thunder rank 1st in Defensive Rating (104.5) and 1st in Net Rating (+16.6).

This team is elite on both ends of the floor.

The Timberwolves are 17-10 but just lost to the Clippers 116-110 at home on December 17. They’re also dealing with a key injury—Mike Conley is out with an Achilles injury and won’t return until at least December 21.

The good news? Anthony Edwards is PLAYING tonight despite being listed as questionable earlier. Ant is averaging 28.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, and 3.8 APG this season and will need to carry the offensive load without Conley.

NBA Expert Picks: Thunder vs Wolves Best Player Prop Bets

I’m interested in a pair of Thunder players tonight. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for OKC, but I like the idea of this being a great basketball game on a National stage.

Chet Holmgren Higher Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds

Chet is averaging 29.0 PRA per game this season (18.9 + 8.0 + 2.1). The Underdog Fantasy line is set at 26.5 PRA, which is way too low.

Against the Timberwolves’ frontcourt (Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle), Chet will get his usual production. He’s been incredibly consistent all season, hitting 25+ PRA in 18 of his 23 games. Tonight, expect 20+ points, 8+ rebounds, and 2+ assists for 30+ PRA total.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander HIGHER Than 50.05 Fantasy Points

SGA is averaging 32.4 PPG and faces a Timberwolves defense that ranks 10th in Defensive Rating—good, but not elite. He’s been dominant all year and should go off tonight. Blowout has killed SGA props at times, but I believe this game vs. the Wolves will be competitive. This is a great player prop bet to target from a unique angle.

Let’s say SGA goes for:

  • 32 points = 32 pts
  • 6 assists = 12 pts (2 pts per assist)
  • 5 rebounds = 5 pts
  • 2 steals = 4 pts (2 pts per steal)
  • Total: ~53 fantasy points

That’ll get the job done. Good luck!
