They’re also 1-4 ATS in their last five games versus the Western Conference and 0-5 ATS in their last five games versus a team with a winning record. As long as the Thunder can take better care of the ball than they did on Sunday versus the Magic (Oklahoma City turned the ball over 18 times), then Kevin Durant and Co. should roll tonight in Minnesota.
