The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost both their opening games of the season. They will now face the Minnesota Timberwolves, who lost their last game to the Utah Jazz. The Thunder will host this encounter at Paycom Center on Sunday (October 23).
The arrival of Rudy Gobert to Minnesota is a clear sign that the team will be fighting for the playoffs in the Western Conference. They were pretty successful last season as well. With an overall record of 46-36 in the 2021-22 season, they finished 7th and qualified for the playoffs. However, they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in Round 1 of the post-season.
