Timberwolves vs Spurs Prediction 10/31/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

Timberwolves vs Spurs Prediction

I understand the Timberwolves are on the end of a back-to-back and without Edwards, but a double-digit line is crazy. The Timberwolves are still a talented team that can defend and have a guy in Ball who can lead the offense. Also, the Spurs have been a bit funky to start the season with, including a couple of SU losses and a 2-3 ATS record.

The Spurs were just a double-digit favorite against the Jazz, and they trailed that game in overtime. Not sure if this is a finals appearance hangover or what, but the Spurs are still trying to get back in the swing of things. This line feels way too thick. I’ll grab the free buckets with the Timberwolves.
