San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves are more than capable of blowing the doors off here as they're at home where they're 20-6 SU, and they've covered 7 of their last 10 games. With that said, the Timberwolves are still a young team that's learning how to handle success, and they'll play sloppy ball at times to allow opponents to hang around. The Spurs beat the Timberwolves last month as a double-digit underdog. Lots of points here. Give me the Spurs and the points.
