Game Preview
The San Antonio Spurs are slowly evolving and are now in the race for the NBA playoffs. Apart from Wemby being extremely dominant, they now have Chris Paul, whose experience controls and helps the young Spurs team. The veteran point guard delivers 9.6 points per game and 8.2 assists.
Wembanyama is the top scorer with 25.2 points per game and adds 10.1 boards. He is the NBA’s top blocker in the 2024/25 season, with 4.0 rejections per game.
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 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.
