- Moneyline: +250 Timberwolves vs Thunder -290
- Pointspread: +7 -110 Timberwolves vs Thunder -7 -110
- Watch: NBA League Pass / Tuesday, May 20th, 2025 8:30 PM ET
- Location: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, OK
Win or go home—and the Thunder are heavily favored to advance. Laying -290 on the moneyline and -7 on the spread, OKC comes in with home-court edge and momentum, while the Timberwolves sit at +250 as live underdogs looking to shock the Paycom Center.
Minnesota has been scrappy in elimination spots, and a backdoor cover isn’t out of the question with their length and athleticism. But if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets rolling early, this could be a runaway.
Public money is leaning Thunder on the spread, but pros may look at the first half line or even alt spreads if OKC sets the tone early.
Tip-off Tuesday, May 20th at 8:30 PM ET on NBA League Pass.
Lean: Thunder -7 (-110)
