Injury Report, Updated Odds (11/28): Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves

The In-Season Tournament will come to a close for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road. Since the Thunder is eliminated from making the knockout rounds of the tournament, this game will act as a regular season game for them, which is still important.

These two teams are currently the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Western Conference. A Thunder win would push them past the Timberwolves in the standings, giving them the top seed in the conference by way of tiebreaker.

All things considered, this game could get the Thunder moving in the right direction as the team had their six-game winning streak snapped in their last game.

Injury Report:

Thunder:

No injuries to report.

Timberwolves:

Jaylen Clark, OUT (achilles)

Jordan McLaughlin, OUT (knee)

Jaden McDaniels, OUT (ankle)

The Timberwolves being short of McDaniels certainly hurts. He's an incredible defender and could use his length to bother Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a player who's putting together an early case for the MVP award. His impact will be missed by the Timberwolves, but, still, they've got an impressive defense and will make life tough for the Thunder.

Also, the Thunder has a clean injury report. Normally, this is incredible news, but it's even better as it marks the return of Jalen Williams, who has missed the last three games with a hip injury. His impact on both sides of the floor can't be overstated and will be needed as the Thunder plays the Timberwolves.

Updated Odds:

The Thunder opened as a 4.5-point underdog, according to ESPN BET. Since then, their odds have moved to only being a 2.5-point underdog, indicating that the game should be even closer. With Jalen Williams' return, the Thunder should be in a good position to battle things out in Minnesota, despite being underdogs.
