00:00Game number two tonight in OKC, the Thunder, a seven and a half point favorite against the Timberwolves, a total of 215.

00:08Your initial impressions, DRS, of game number two tonight in Oklahoma City.

00:13What are they?

00:14All right, have it played out in this series.

00:16I love the OKC in game number one.

00:17I love the Minnesota Timberwolves in game number two.

00:20And it's not the X's and O's.

00:21It's not what I watched in the second half where the Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely pulled away from the Timberwolves.

00:27Or Anthony Edwards played poorly.

00:28I just look at it by saying one team was rested and that was the Timberwolves.

00:32They weren't necessarily still in playoff mode as were the Oklahoma City Thunder.

00:35Now we're more on equal footing in game number two.

00:38And I expect different results.

00:39Do I expect the Timberwolves to win this game outright?

00:42Not necessarily.

00:43But you know where I'm going, Ben?

00:44I am taking the points.

00:46I love the seven and a half tonight with the Minnesota Timberwolves to get back into the series.

00:50Or should I say at least be competitive and be back into this series?

00:54I completely agree, DRS.

00:55And we asked our coach, JY James Young, yesterday, what do you expect for game number two?

01:01And he said it's not so much about the result.

01:03Of course, it will be incredibly impactful for how this series plays out.

01:06But how game number two looks and just how competitive it is supposed to be.

01:11The Timberwolves as an underdog in this postseason.

01:15Now two and two straight up and against the spread.

01:18OKC booked as at least a five-point favorite in all 12 of their playoff games.

01:23Now only five and seven ATS.

01:25But all five covers have come when OKC has won by at least 19 points.

01:30The Thunder are a hefty favorite entering this series.

01:33You win game number one on your home floor, taking advantage of that scenario by 26 points.

01:39DRS.

01:40Of course, your odds to win this series grow even larger.

01:44Minus 750 for the Thunder to win this series outright entering game number two.

01:49And we expect it to be done quick.

01:52I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:53I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:54I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:55I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:56I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:57I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:58I'm not so sure that's the case.

01:59I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:00I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:01I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:02I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:03I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:04I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:05I'm not so sure that's the case.

02:06I'm so sure that's the case.

02:07I'm so sure that's the case.
