The San Antonio Spurs (11-47) travel to the Minnesota Timberwolves (40-17) on a Tuesday night game. Although the two sides are drastically different in terms of seedings, this should be a great game. However, the visitors won the last encounter in their building. But today’s hosts won the previous two encounters.
Moreover, the Western Conference is led by the home team. While that’s a good start, the West is deep and competitive. Therefore avoiding a loss tonight is crucial for the home side. But an injury concern could spell trouble, especially for the home team.
But do you see the underdog having a chance to pull off the spectacular tonight?

The San Antonio Spurs are not likely to keep things close tonight. They typically hang in games through the first three quarters, but oftentimes not even that long. However, the opposition is usually able to pull away late. Regardless this team competes every night. But their youth and inexperience make it difficult to pick them at this point. They will likely struggle against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight.

San Antonio is building toward the future. Although they have a generational talent, Victor Wembanyama is often overmatched as a whole against the rest of the opposition. In other words, he needs others around him to step up. However, he’s one of the better defenders already in the NBA. Moreover, Keldon Johnson needs to embrace his new branch role and earn a starting position again. Additionally, Devin Vassell remains one of the other scoring options on this team.

Conversely, Minnesota is one of the better teams so far this regular season. However, skeptics remain over their playoff potential. Although they have played well and run through large portions of the regular season schedule, the main obstacle is in the post-season. However, they take care of business, especially against weaker teams. The Minnesota Timberwolves are a team that not only takes every regular season game seriously but also keeps expanding any lead that they have.

Furthermore, Karl-Anthony Towns is playing well. He contributed 28 points against the Spurs for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Also, Anthony Edwards scored 29 points in that same game. Therefore it’s expected that they will be able to keep that rolling tonight. Additionally, Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable
Game Prediction
This game will not be close. Regardless of how well the San Antonio Spurs play, the Minnesota Timberwolves should dominate tonight. The underdogs may be able to compete in a couple of years, but not today. Therefore, I’m picking the favorites to cover the spread. Moreover, I see the point total to be too high. The under is the safer play here. While the Minnesota Timberwolves will score, the Spurs aren’t likely to be able to keep up.
