Get a full Thunder vs. Timberwolves prediction for NBA Conference finals with odds, key players, injury news, player props, parlay picks and our ClutchBuzz prediction.
The Western Conference Finals head to Target Center Saturday night with the Minnesota Timberwolves on the ropes. Down 0-2, Minnesota must deliver a statement win in front of the home crowd against the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder.
Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPNews.
After dropping Game 1 by 14 and Game 2 by 15, the Timberwolves have yet to solve the Thunder’s swarming defense and explosive tempo. Anthony Edwards dropped 32 points in Game 2, but it wasn’t enough to slow down a balanced OKC attack led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who erupted for 38 points.
With Nikola Topic the only player on either team listed on the injury report, both rosters are locked and loaded for what could be a crucial momentum shift.
Will OKC put this series on ice? Or can the Wolves claw back?

🧪 ClutchBuzz Angle: OKC’s defense is too much for a Wolves team that lacks secondary scoring right now. This is a prove-it night for Anthony Edwards, but unless someone else steps up, it’s tough to see them slowing Shai down.
