Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs preview

These are two of the most exciting teams in the NBA with Anthony Edwards and Victor Wembanyama on their rosters. Neither team has gotten its season to the best start, though.

Minnesota is still figuring out its team chemistry after trading away Karl-Anthony Towns in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. The T-Wolves are, however, coming off a nail-biting 119-116 win against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Edwards had 29 points in the win.

The Spurs won their most recent game 106-88 against the Utah Jazz on Thursday, as Wemby had 25 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, five steals and five blocks. He, however, struggled mightily in the previous game where San Antonio lost 105-93 to the OKC Thunder. He had just six points in that game.

Anthony Edwards’ points total is set at 26.5. He averages 30.0 points in the season and should have a good game on Saturday as well. Bet on the over here.

Victor Wembanyama’s blocks total is set at 3.5. He has made three blocks or more in four of the five games so far. Expect Wemby to have more than 3.5 blocks against a team that has several bigs such as Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Naz Reid.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Timberwolves to win the game despite playing the second leg of a back-to-back. Minnesota has the better squad and Wembanyama hasn’t made the jump yet that was expected of him in his sophomore year in the NBA. The T-Wolves should cover the spread for a win in a high-scoring game where the team total should surpass 214.5 points.
