Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio Spurs Predictions & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as a betting underdog once again in Game 2.

The line for Game 1 was pretty disrespectful to the Timberwolves – they showed they will be a tough out for the Spurs, and while back-to-back wins in San Antonio is a big ask, there is value in them with a host of free buckets.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-2 in the previous 9 meetings
  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 3-1-0 ATS in their 4 visits to San Antonio this season
  • The Under has cashed in 2 of the 3 meetings so far this year

Head To Head

  • San Antonio Spurs lead the all-time series 102-49
  • Minnesota Timberwolves won 104-102 when the two teams last met on May 4
