Thunder vs. Timberwolves Odds & Betting Predictions - January 21, 2024

Yeah this one is soaring under trust me - I pwomise

NBA system

Jalen Williams has been a DAWG for the Oklahoma City Thunder and honestly has flown under the radar a bit with Shai and Chet grabbing the headlines Jalen is averaging 15.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game and has seen his efficiency improve on a nightly basis. Over his last 10 games he has averaged 21.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.1 assists for 31.9 PRA. This matchup against the Wolves is a tough one on paper, but he likely has the best matchup with Jaden McDaniels taking on the SGA assignment and KAT isn’t a great matchup for him either. Jalen has exceeded this line in 8 of his last 10 games and I expect him to do so again tonight in a well rounded effort.

Over in 12/L15, with two misses at 16. He’s been phenomenal, and really cementing himself as the guy (after SGA, of course). SGA gets the McDanies matchup, and MIN doesn’t really have a great matchup for Jalen. Plus, Gobert really can’t hang in the paint because Chet will stretch the floor. MIN tried Towns on Jalen last game (would whole heartedly welcome that again), and Conley/NAW are too small. So even though it’s a tough matchup vs the NBA’s best defense, I still think it’s a plus spot for Jalen relative to his teammates.
