17 Jan
Summary
- Spurs host Timberwolves at Frost Bank Center on Saturday at 5 p.m. PT.
- Timberwolves lost to Rockets; Spurs won against Bucks recently.
- Key players Anthony Edwards and Stephon Castle are questionable.
The San Antonio Spurs are set to host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday, with the game scheduled to tip off at 5 p.m. PT. This marks the third encounter between the two teams this season, with Minnesota having won the previous two close contests. The Timberwolves are playing on the backend of a back-to-back after a Friday loss, while the Spurs enter the game with momentum from a recent victory.
Minnesota boasts a strong offense, averaging 120.3 points per game with impressive shooting efficiency. However, their performance may be impacted by the status of star player Anthony Edwards, who is day-to-day with a foot injury. The Spurs, while averaging fewer points, rely on home-court advantage and solid defense. Their lineup could also see changes due to Stephon Castle's illness.
This matchup presents an intriguing battle, with the Spurs holding a slight edge due to playing at home and potential absences for the Timberwolves. Sportsbooks favor the Spurs, and a narrow home victory is predicted, potentially with a final score of Spurs 110, Timberwolves 104, especially if Edwards does not play.
