As the two teams get ready for the crucial game, the injury reports for each side look very clean. Neither team has anyone of note listed on the report, with the only player on either side being Nikola Topic, who has been out after knee surgery.
Due to the teams being healthy, fans should be in for some competitive basketball on the floor. The Thunder will be out to prove that Game 3 was a fluke, while the Timberwolves will look to even the series.
Minnesota seemed to figure out something against the normally tough Thunder defense, and they will try to replicate that. The Timberwolves attacked the Thunder aggressively in Game 3, and it led to them jumping out to a massive lead to start the game.
To make matters worse for the Thunder, its two stars, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, had horrible games. The two players combined for 27 points in the contest, and Oklahoma City couldn’t keep up with the explosive offense from Minnesota.

The league MVP will look to bounce back in Game 4, and if he can, the Thunder could be in good shape. Oklahoma City has been solid after losses all season long, and they will try to keep things going.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards continued his hot play in Game 3, dropping 30 points on 12-of-17 shooting. With Edwards having back-to-back 30-point games, the Thunder may need to key in on him defensively more.
Edwards is the type of player who can completely change the trajectory of a series, and Minnesota will look to him once again. The Timberwolves will try to use their home crowd to help rattle the Thunder, so Oklahoma City will have to navigate how to silence the crowd early on.
Game 4 presents a special opportunity for both sides, and fans won’t want to miss this contest. The game is scheduled to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday night.
