See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

The Timberwolves are in a great spot to cover against the Spurs tonight, even with the game being in San Antonio. Minnesota showed tremendous resilience in Game 4, battling back behind another superstar performance from Anthony Edwards to even the series at 2-2. The Timberwolves have already proven they can win on the road in this matchup, taking Game 1 at Frost Bank Center, and their defense continues to keep games competitive.

San Antonio may have the home crowd, but Minnesota’s physicality, rebounding edge, and ability to create second-chance points should keep this one within the number all night long.
