[8:10 PM] Spurs @ Timberwolves

Who will WIN this matchup?

San Antonio Spurs (16-4)

@ Minnesota Timberwolves (6-14)

 

• The line for this game is Spurs by 4 points.

• The San Antonio Spurs still are undefeated on the road after surviving a close call and look to improve to 13-0 on enemy floors when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. San Antonio overcame a 15-point, third-quarter deficit to post a 97-96 victory at Milwaukee on Monday to remain the lone undefeated NBA team on the road this season.

• If there is a secret regarding San Antonio’s road success, Popovich doesn’t want to share it and certainly detests being asked for the reasoning. Standout small forward Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points against the Bucks and has at least 20 points in four straight games and 11 of the past 12.

• The victory over Charlotte halted a four-game losing skid, and that type of dynamic win couldn’t have come soon enough for standout center Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns is averaging 31.3 points and 13.7 rebounds over the past three contests, including a career-best 47 points against the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

• The Spurs have won the past seven meetings with five of the victories being by more than 20 points.

• San Antonio PG Tony Parker (thigh) likely will sit out — he was injured against the Bucks after missing the previous two games with a knee injury.

• Minnesota SG Andrew Wiggins scored 29 points against Charlotte, just his second 20-point outing in the past nine games.
