San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves: It could well be a tight game

The young and talented home team has shown all season that they can get on the nerves of any opponent, but tonight Minnesota came for a win.

San Antonio now have a seven-game winning streak at home. The first four ended with two wins and two losses.

Everyone already knows that Popovich has become the coach with the most wins in history. And this season, the team under his guidance has been more of a rebounder than a constant threat to the leaders. But the coach’s system is working.

The last game ended in a loss to Indiana, but the home team’s star player did not take part in it, but Dejounte Murray will be back today.

The team from Minneapolis is having a very strong stretch of the season and it’s good to see it coming towards the end of the regular season. That means they’ll be well-positioned for the playoffs.

After a streak of six straight wins, the Timberwolves dropped their penultimate game in a completely unexpected loss to Orlando. Then on March 13, they beat leaders of the East, Miami, showing that their last defeat was likely a result of underestimating their opponent and overconfidence.

Tonight’s game will not be easy, but if both Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverley, who are in day-to-day status, come out, they will certainly strengthen the team’s status as favourites.

The visitors are slightly favourites tonight. The teams played one meeting this season, in which Minnesota won convincingly (115-91). The home team, on the rise and scoring 113.4 at home, could very well pull off a blowout tonight and they probably won’t let a landslide victory happen. So Total Over and a handicap can be considered as a good option.

• Minnesota Total Over (122.5) for 1.86;
• Each team Total Over (113.5) for 1.93;
• Dejounte Murray Total Over 0.5 block for 3.70.
