2. Oklahoma City vs Minnesota, Nov. 5

Following a back-to-back with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors, the Thunder return home for a day of rest then a game with Minnesota. Normally, Minnesota hasn’t posed much of a threat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Not since the days of Kevin Love have we seen a nail-biting game against the Timberwolves.

However, Minnesota is much improved. Karl-Anthony Towns is a walking double-double and newly appointed head coach Tom Thibodeau is a defense genius. This team is young and exciting to watch, making it the perfect game for a Saturday night home game.

Minnesota is a division rival. Although, they haven’t won a division title since 2004. They can very well challenge for one this season. These divisional games are important, they’ll shape the landscape of the playoffs.

Towns will likely be matched up with Steven Adams that night, making this even more exciting. Steven Adams’ defensive skills will be put to the test by Towns and his athletic ability.
