The current betting odds have the Timberwolves listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have been a surprise to start the season as they have been pulling off some big upsets, including a big one in Minnesota last week, but this is still a very young team that needs to develop and they are going to start regressing again soon. They pulled off another upset over the Bulls in their last game at home but they have already played the Timberwolves twice on the road this season and the T-Wolves are starting to hit their stride now. The Timberwolves lost their 1st encounter with the Spurs this season but bounced back the very next game against them with a 12 point win at home. They will not overlook this Spurs team again which has been sneaky good in their games and the T-Wolves will come out trying to dominate the game from the start. The Timberwolves have much better players on their team and they have been starting to gel a lot more in their last few games as they start to hit their stride together. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.

“I see a ton of growth opportunity within it on both sides of the ball, with the bench, with everything with the lineup combinations. I’m a prove-it-to-you guy. I still want to see it more." - Chris Finch after his team’s win against the Lakers on Friday.

 

 

“For us, he’s kind of boring the way David Robinson got boring. ‘We’d say, what did David do?’ You look at the stats: 24 points, 12 rebounds, four blocked shots, that kind of thing. Jakob does the same thing. He gives it every single night. Very solid. He definitely anchors our defense.” - Gregg Popovich on Jakob Poeltl in his team’s win against the Bulls on Friday.
