The Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest. The Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games and 9-25 ATS in their last 34 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Timberwolves last 6 overall. The over is 4-1 in Spurs last 5 overall. The Timberwolves are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are likely going to play their key players as they fight for seeding. The San Antonio Spurs don't cover numbers despite being big underdogs nightly, and they're losing their last 5 games by an average of 7.4 points while not playing a lick of defense. Massive line, but backing the Spurs isn't an option. Give me the Timberwolves and the chalk.
