Timberwolves at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 109, Spurs 103
Moneyline
PASS.
While both sides could be enticing here, given the way the game is predicted, the road team’s spread is the better wager. Look there for value.
Against the spread
BET TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-110).
The Wolves have been on fire for bettors while the Spurs have been the exact opposite. San Antonio has failed to cover in 5 straight and is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 home games. Its defense has allowed at least 116 points in 4 straight contests and at least 139 points twice.
Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games and is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 outings on the road. The Timberwolves have allowed 92 or fewer points in going 5-1 in their last 6 games. Back TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 214.5 (-110).
The Spurs have gone Over in 4 straight, but they don’t necessarily play at a fast pace (15th in the league) and defend better than they have over the last week (19th in defensive rating).
Minnesota ranks fifth in defensive rating and 24th in pace. This won’t necessarily be a fast-tempo game. The T-wolves have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games as well. Play UNDER 214.5 (-110).
