The Timberwolves won 30 of their 41 home games during the regular season and showed they will be a tough to beat at home in Game 3, Jimmy Butler with 28 points.
Like the Rockets to take this one, but should be close.
These two ranked in the top 4 in offensive efficiency during regular season. Over is 15-5 in the last 20 meetings.
Overs best.
Best Bet = Over 219.0

| +5.5 | 209.0 | 113-96 |
The 4th-seeded Thunder took the first game of this series at home, but have dropped the last two. Utah have won 28 of their 41 home regular season games and now up 2-1 have given themselves the chance for a stranglehold in the series tonight.
This is a tough one, and if there were a regular season outing we’d say this would be one to walk away from.
Should be a battle, and because of that, we’ll take the Thunder +5.5.
Best Bet = Oklahoma City +5.5
