The Minnesota Timberwolves play host to the San Antonio Spurs at the Target Center on Thursday night.

The San Antonio Spurs have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after routing the Nuggets in a 116-97 road win on Tuesday. Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell each scored 20 points, Josh Richardson added 18 points off the bench while Tyus Jones chipped in with 14 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 49 percent from the field and 12 of 26 from the 3-point line, but this win was all about their effort on the defensive end as they restricted the Nuggets to just 14 points in the second quarter to take a 20-point lead into halftime, before they went on a 14-2 run in the fourth quarter to make it a blowout.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last eight games and they will be hoping for a better performance in this one after getting thrashed by the lowly Wizards in a 132-114 loss on Tuesday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 26 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, Anthony Edwards added 18 points with six rebounds and four assists while D’Angelo Russell tallied 17 points with 11 assists. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 41 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Wizards in a close contest in the first half, before falling away in the second half as the Wizards’ bench players ran riot, outscoring the Timberwolves’ bench by 52-31.
