Game Preview
Anthony Edwards disappeared in Game 4, and he was the one to be blamed for the loss at home. Ant was 1-for-7 for three and 5-for-13 FG, for only 16 points. Julius Randle was even worse, with only 5 points in 28 minutes of play.
Guys like Jaden McDaniels with 22, Nickeil Alexander-Walker with 23, and Donte DiVincenzo with 21 (later two off the bench) held the T-Wolves in this one, yet couldn’t lead them to the win.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 40 buckets in this one, going 14 times to the foul line. He was one board short of a triple-double, having 10 assists and 9 boards. Jalen Williams scored 6 threes in nine attempts and ended the night with 34 points.
Chet Holmgren was there with a rejection to stop the T-Wolves from getting this one. He had 21 points, 7 rebounds and three blocks. OKC had 19 offensive rebounds in this game.

Timberwolves vs. Thunder Game 5 Predictions
Minnesota has to go all in now in OKC. On the other hand, the Thunder is very good at home, but we don’t believe they are going to cover an 8.5-point spread. This is our pick for this one, Minnesota Timberwolves +8.5.
