The key matchup here is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander against Anthony Edwards. SGA has been on an absolute tear, averaging 30.5 points per game, but Edwards has shown he can lock down top guards when he's focused.
The Thunder are scorching hot, riding an eight-game win streak where they've averaged 121 points. Minnesota, on the other hand, has dropped three of their last five, struggling to find consistent offense without Karl-Anthony Towns. Their defense is still stifling, holding opponents to 106.6 points per game, best in the league. But OKC's pace and offensive firepower will test them.
Thunder win this one, 118-109.
