Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs preview

The T-Wolves made key changes to their roster after trading away Karl-Anthony Towns for Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. However, they haven’t reaped the results yet. They are 5-5 in the past 10 games and have struggled on the road with a 5-7 record.

Minnesota comes into Sunday’s game after defeating the LA Lakers 97-87 on Friday. Edwards led the team in scoring with 23 points. Randle with 21 points and Rudy Gobert with a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds played key roles as well.

The Spurs have definitely been better than last season but they haven’t been able to stamp their authority in a tough Western Conference. They are, however, on a two-game winning streak and defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 118-116 on Friday. Victor Wembanyama stood out with 28 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks.

Anthony Edwards’ point total is set at 24.5, which is under his season average of 26.3 points. While San Antonio’s defense should cause him trouble, bet on the young superstar to go past 25 points at least.

Victor Wembanyama’s blocks total is set at 3.5. He leads the league in the category with 3.3 blocks per game. However, he hasn’t gone past three blocks in any of his past five games. So, bet on the under here.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Timberwolves to win this game on the road. We predict this to be a close game, with Minnesota getting a win but being unable to cover the spread. This should be a relatively high-scoring game, with the team total just passing 214.5 points.
