See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.
The Timberwolves are in a strong bounce-back spot tonight against the Spurs, especially with the game being played in Minnesota. The Wolves have been dominant at home throughout the season, and their defense usually responds well after poor performances. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle give Minnesota the scoring edge, while Rudy Gobert can slow down San Antonio inside.
The Spurs are coming off a huge win, but young teams often struggle to maintain that same energy on the road in playoff environments. Getting +4.5 points with a talented Minnesota roster at home feels like strong value in a pivotal matchup tonight.
