The Minnesota Timberwolves invade the Frost Bank Center to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night. Here’s a Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction. This article will include a Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction Pick.
Minnesota TimberwolvesÂ
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been heating up nicely as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be looking to stay hot after routing the Lakers in a 97-87 home win on Friday. Anthony Edwards led the team with 23 points, Julius Randle added 21 points with five rebounds, while Jaden McDaniels chipped in with 18 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. As a team, the Timberwolves shot just 40 percent from the field and nine of 32 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they didn’t allow the Lakers to score more than 23 points in any quarter in one of their best defensive performances of the season. Mike Conley had a rough game as he finished with just two points on zero of six shooting.Â
San Antonio SpursÂ
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have split their last six games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Trail Blazers in a 118-116 road win on Friday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 28 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, Devin Vassell added 23 points with five assists off the bench while Julian Champagnie chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 30 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they allowed 46 points in the third quarter to trail by 17 points before they closed the final 8:18 on a 30-11 run to escape with the thrilling comeback win on the road.Â

Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Timberwolves are coming into this matchup with the same squad, while the Spurs are keeping an eye on Stephon Castle and Tre Jones who are both questionable for this meeting. The Timberwolves come into this meeting with plenty of winning momentum and their defense looked solid in their dominant win over the Lakers on Friday, while the Spurs were struggling a bit before their impressive comeback win over the Trail Blazers. The Spurs could pull off the upset at home, but with the line so short, I can’t resist a play on the Timberwolves to continue their hot streak.
