In-Form Timberwolves to Nick Narrow Home Win

Minnesota and New York go head-to-head in NBA action at Target Center in Minneapolis. The in-form Timberwolves are gunning for a third straight victory.

Minnesota are in fine fettle, while the Knicks picked up a 100-91 win at Orlando last time out. Both teams will be up for this one, and it might be close on the scoreline. However, home advantage could be key, so our money is going on the Timberwolves at 1.72.

Thunder to Bounce Back from Cup Defeat

After losing in the NBA Cup Championship Game in midweek, Oklahoma will be looking to bounce back with a win on the weekend. Mark Daigneault takes Thunder to Kia Center to face Orlando.

Oklahoma went into the Championship Game as the favourites, but they suffered a surprise 97-81 loss to Milwaukee Bucks in Vegas. Nevertheless, the Western Conference leaders should get back to winning ways in Florida. Take a punt on the away team to win -4.5 at 1.64.

Kings Too Strong for Lakers in Californian Clash

Sacramento and Los Angeles meet at Golden 1 Center this weekend in an intriguing-looking NBA game. The home team is looking for a response after the loss to Denver Nuggets, while the visitors beat Memphis Grizzlies at home in their last fixture.

Sacramento have blown hot and cold lately, though they did win three on the bounce before the midweek loss. As for the Lakers, they have lost four of their previous six fixtures. The Kings are the favourites, and we are backing the home win (1.53).
