The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in the front end of a same-team travel back-to-back. These two teams will play on ESPN in Minnesota on Sunday with tip-off set for 8:30 PM CT before running it back on Monday in the Paycom Center on NBATV with tip-off slated for 7:00 PM CT. That is a faster turnaround than even a normal back-to-back and it is the rare same team set.
