OKC Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Key matchups

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs Anthony Edwards

The biggest matchup in this game will be between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards. Aside from being two of the top guards in the NBA, there was some bad blood following the last meeting.

When these teams faced off two weeks ago, SGA led the charge for his team with 33 points. Edwards had a quieter performance, finishing with 19 points on 60% shooting. That said, the young guard was very open about how the refs handled SGA regarding foul calls.

As two high-powered offensive guards, both these players are capable of having a big night on the other.

Chet Holmgren vs Rudy Gobert

Another matchup worth monitoring in this game is the center battle. This game will feature a pair of DPOY candidates in Rudy Gobert and Chet Holmgren. Since these two will likely be matched up on one other a lot, it could result in a defensive showcase in the frontcourt.
