San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Key Stats
Spurs have been quite the surprise this season. While many expected the team to be amongst those tanking for Victor Wembanyama, they have gotten off to a strong start, largely due to their offensive performance.
The Spurs offense ranks tenth in points per game and eighth in offensive rating. Defensively, the Spurs have not had the same success, though. They rank 28th in points allowed per game and 29th in defensive rating.
Meanwhile, following their offseason acquisition of Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves were expected to improve significantly in defense. While that has yet to come true, the team has found a way to win games.
The Timberwolves defense is ranked 18th in points allowed per game and 13th in defensive rating. Last season, they ranked 24th and 13th respectively in the two catagories.
Minnesota has seen the biggest change offensively. After leading the league in points per game and finishing eighth in offensive rating last season, the Timberwolves are ranked ninth and 13th respectively in the two categories now.

San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Prediction
Spurs and Timberwolves enter this matchup looking to improve to 3-1 on the season.
While San Antonio has been a pleasant surprise to begin the season, they do not seem to have the defensive prowess to slow down Minnesota's offense. For that reason, expect the Timberwolves to cover, even with such a large spread.
Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves -8.5 (-110) and Over 234.5 (-110)
