The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 9 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have been on a hot streak lately only 4 games into this season. They opened their season with a loss but they have won 3 games in a row since then and all 3 of those wins have come as upsets as they were underdogs in all of them. They have been some big underdogs too like in their last 2 games almost reaching double digits in both but they were the team that ended up winning by double digits. Their last win was also against this T-Wolves team and that game was in Minnesota just like this one. The Timberwolves haven't had a great start to their season as they have been upset in a few games now and they are still trying to find some chemistry on the court with their new additions in the off-season. The Spurs just crushed this team in their last game here, they may not win this game too but they will at least keep it a close game and not get blown out here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
