Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs: Current situation
Optimism is back among the Minnesota Timberwolves ranks following two impressive wins at Dallas and Houston. That’s now 8 wins in 12 games for the T’Wolves, but they still remain 8th in the Western Conference standings, well below the standard they set last season when they finished 3rd with a .683 win pace. They are one of the healthiest teams in the NBA at the moment, perhaps they can use that to their advantage and make some sort of a run as we enter 2025?
It’s all about Victor Wembanyama and his development for the San Antonio Spurs this season. Sure, it would be nice if the team made the postseason, but nobody will be unhappy if they fail to do so, as long as Wembanyama continues to develop. The 2nd year man has shined in these first 2 months of the season, averaging 25.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4 blocks per game. Some analysts even have him in the MVP conversation, but the Spurs record of 16-15 will have to drastically improve for him to have a case.
Minnesota Timberwolves Stats & Form
In one of the tightest games of the season, Minnesota was able to pull off a impressive comeback as they erased a 16-point deficit to beat the Houston Rockets on their own floor. Anthony Edwards came up big in the clutch with the game winning three-ball, while Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo also added 27 and 22 points respectively.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
Despite shooting just 41% from the field and three-point land, the Spurs were able to pull out a win against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Wembanyama blocked a total of 6 shots, once again solidifying his case as the frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year award. This will be the final game of a 4-game road trip for San Antonio, after this they have the Clippers at home.

Betting tip and prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs (29.12.2024)
A heroic performance by Anthony Edwards who scored the game-winning three lifted the Timberwolves to an impressive win over the Houston Rockets. Can they back that up with a win over San Antonio though? They’ve already lost once to the Spurs, despite holding Victory Wembanyama to just 17 points in that game. San Antonio heads into this one as they look to complete a 4-game trip, following a 96-87 win at Brooklyn. Once again Wemby was the story of the game with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 blocks. He will be the focal point on offense here, Rudy Gobert will have his hands full trying to contain his French National team teammate. We just saw Sengun drop 38 points points on Gobert, Minnesota’s paint protection has been average at best this season with opponents scoring 47.8 points per game against them. One weapon that the Timberwolves can use here is their three-point shooting, which has been stellar over the past 3 games with 41.5% of shots going in. The Spurs are also on a heater from downtown, upping their efficiency by more than 3% over their last 3 games. With the point total being set at a relatively low number, we feel like the over deserves a bet here. The last 10 meetings have produced an average of 224.5 points per game, let’s back the points in this one.
