Timberwolves vs Spurs Prediction & Pick
These teams have already met twice this season, with both games being played in Minnesota. The Spurs came out on top by a score of 115-106 on Oct. 24, while the Timberwolves emerged victorious by a score of 134-122 on Oct. 26. This will be the final head-to-head meeting between these squads.
The Timberwolves head into this game fully healthy and fresh off back-to-back double-digit victories. That has to be scary for a San Antonio defense that is tied for sixth in the NBA in points allowed in the paint per game (53.7). Keeping Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns at bay will be a tough task.
Minnesota is 4-1 in its last five games against San Antonio, so I'l l side with the road team here.
Final Score Prediction:'Timberwolves: 124 | Spurs: 117
