San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are the better team and should be favored, as a blowout wouldn't be shocking. However, the Timberwolves have underachieved for much of the season, and you could consider this a letdown spot after a massive comeback over the Rockets. Also, the Spurs are a young team gaining confidence, as they've been in a lot of close games and have covered five straight games. The Spurs are heading in the right direction and are a team worth watching in the underdog role. Give me the road dog.
