minny double

----------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - First some history for the Western Conference Finals matchup. The first meeting was in Oklahoma City and the Thunder (-6.5) beat the T'wolves 113-105. The Over/Under closed at 217.5 and just squeezed to the high side by the hook. The second game was at Minnesota and OKC (-8.5) posted a 116-101 win. The Over/Under closed at 229.5 and went low. The third meeting was also in Minny and the Thunder (-8.5) picked up a 130-123 W. The Over/Under closed at 227.5 and went way high. The fourth meeting was the very next night in Oklahoma and the T'wolves (+11.5) stunned with a 131-128 win. The Over/Under closed at 227.5 again, and again, went way high. The Thunder have enjoyed a nice run to the WCF, but where it counts, in the wallet, the results have been ugly. They have covered only two of the last nine while the Wolves have been hunting since early March, winning 25 of the last 31. Not calling for the outright upset but would think about buying the hook to +8 points and throw a few chips at the visiting Wolves.

Speaking of Minnesota, gonna throw a few chips at the Twins with Chris Paddack over the Guardians. Paddack has been on fire, allowing only 1 tiny earned run over the last 14 innings. That's a 0.64 ERA and that's worth a bump to the Twinkies.
