Head-to-Head Key Trends
Timberwolves are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in San Antonio.
Under is 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings in San Antonio.
Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Analysis: I’ll keep it real by saying that I am not impressed with the Spurs and their play against competitive ballclubs this season.

San Antonio doesn’t play a style of basketball that makes for a bunch of blowout victories and has not been very spotty when it comes to covering the spread this season.

The Spurs have gone an incendiary 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a losing SU record but have also gone a head-scratching 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games against Northwest division ballclubs.

San Antonio will face a Minnesota team that has gone a scorching 8-2 ATS in their last 10 against Western Conference ballclubs and 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games.

I know the Timberwolves have gone a dismal 3-7 ATS in the last 10 games against the Spurs in San Antonio, but Minnesota has also gone an impressive 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog and are my pick to cover the double digit spread in this contest tonight.

With the Under going 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings in San Antonio and 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between these teams, I say the Under plays out again tonight.
