Closer Than Expected
NBA betting sites are heavily leaning on the Thunder coming out on top in the series and in Game 1, things could be much closer than expected based off of what unfolded during the regular season between the two.
During the season, they split their four-game series at two games each, however, Minnesota owned them against the spread with a 3-1 record in that department. In the two games that Oklahoma City won, they did not go past a 10-point margin. They capped out at 8 points as their biggest winning margin. Minnesota also won both of their games as a +6.5-point underdog or higher.
Looking at the point total, both teams shaded over in their four meetings as well, with three of the four games going over the set point total. All four of them, though, have crossed over the 216 point mark.
