What You Need to Know!

Okay, get ready! Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals is about to tip off on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 8:30 PM ET. The Minnesota Timberwolves are heading back to Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, looking to get even with the Oklahoma City Thunder after a tough Game 1.

The Thunder absolutely crushed it in the first game, taking a huge 114–88 win and snagging a 1–0 series lead. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was on fire for OKC, dropping 31 points – 20 of those in the second half alone! And let's not forget the Thunder's defense; it was lockdown, holding the T-Wolves to a measly 88 points. Minnesota's offense really struggled, shooting poorly, so big players like Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle are going to need to step up their game if they want to tie this series up. The Thunder's defense was key in Game 1, and if they keep that intensity, they could easily be looking at a 2–0 lead. You won't want to miss it!

OKC vs T-Wolves Top Props!

Anthony Edwards Over 4.5 Assists

After getting bottled up in Game 1, it's a safe bet that Anthony Edwards will be looking to do more than just score. He'll probably try to facilitate a lot more to crack the Thunder's tough defense. So, get ready to see more drive-and-kicks or early defensive traps that force him to dish the ball out. Even though his shots weren't falling in Game 1, he still managed to rack up 5 assists, which tells you he's capable of making plays.

Rudy Gobert Over 11.5 Rebounds

Rudy Gobert, the big man, was a monster on the boards in Game 1, pulling down 13 rebounds. He's absolutely essential for the Timberwolves to stay competitive. Since the Thunder love to attack the paint, expect Gobert to be right there, dominating the glass for big minutes again.

Isaiah Hartenstein Over 8.5 Points

Let's talk about Hartenstein, who's been quietly crushing it this postseason! He's putting up solid numbers with 11.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in under 28 minutes a game, all while shooting a super-efficient 58.1% from the field. This guy has been seriously undervalued, especially since he's scored 10+ points in 7 of his last 10 games, including a strong 12 points in Game 1. It's pretty clear the Thunder are making sure Hartenstein gets his touches, and it's definitely paying off for them.
