Other than SGA and his foul-baiting, shove-off ways, is there anyone from OKC that can really take the ball to the hoop? Seems like one of the keys to slowing the OKC offense is to stay home on shooters and try to contain SGA the best you can without selling out on him.

We have 3 guys who come to mind that can do that

A nice 2nd half rest for Jokic.

This looks like it could be gravy

Exactly. It also means we can press up on their shooters and not worry about them blowing by off the bounce. These guys like Dort, Wiggins, Caruso, and Wallace all are more stationary catch and shoot guys. I guess Jalen Williams can put the ball on the floor, but he's been ice cold from 3, so you can sort of give him space.

Looks like more rest is on the menu!

This is going to help us regardless

I'm sure everyone took the prop bet on Fanduel that Strawther would score as many points as Gordon and Porter Jr combined.

Yup, all good for the Wolves. Give the coaching staff another game to scout both teams too.

And whoever wins game 7 only has Monday off before Game 1.
