Timberwolves are slightly underachieving. Frankly, a 16-14 record following 30 matches isn’t what the public expected from this unit. Maybe it’s because they replaced Karl-Anthony Towns with Julius Randle, who still tries to fit in.
Minnesota has a certain swing now following a tight win over the Houston Rockets, 113-112. Anthony Edwards sealed the deal with a three-pointer with 23 seconds to go, which completed a 12-point comeback over the final three minutes.
Spurs vs. Timberwolves Head to Head
Spurs defeated the T-Wolves in their first game of the year, 113-103, and after that, the Wolves got their revenge, 106-92. Both matches took place in Texas.
Spurs vs. Timberwolves Prediction
San Antonio plays well, but in this case, we pick the Timberwolves. They play at home, have a solid swing, and overall, are individually a better team than the guests. So we bet on the San Antonio Spurs.
