Having already beaten the OKC Thunder in both earlier season matches the Minnesota Timberwolves look to make it three in a row tonight. Both victories were closely contested with a single bucket determining the outcome.
Although the Thunder remains seeded third the Blazers have precisely the same record. Having won the tiebreak versus Portland OKC have minor padding over them, but the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets are also charging hard to usurp the Thunder in third.
Without Paul George, the Thunder have stumbled to find a rhythm and prior to narrowly defeating the Grizzlies on Sunday were on a four-game losing streak.
