It’s off to Game 2 after the Minnesota Timberwolves shocked the San Antonio Spurs with an incredible underdog win in the first game. The Spurs, who are top favourites to go all the way, might have finally met their match in the Timberwolves’ side that beat them in two of three games during the regular season. Check out our match prediction below.
San Antonio cruised past the Trail Blazers in five games, giving them nearly a week of rest, compared to Minnesota, which just finished off the Nuggets in a very physical six-game battle. However, Game 1 didn’t go anywhere near as expected by the betting odds. Spurs were supposed to win comfortably with odds of 1.25 to Minnesota’s 4.20 odds.
Yet, it was the Timberwolves who came out on top after a dramatic 4th quarter. Minnesota not only covered the spread, but did so with a -1.5 handicap. While surprising, it was almost expected, as the Timberwolves dominated the Spurs all season, winning two of their three regular-season games.
Before the playoffs, the Timberwolves beat the Spurs 125-112 and 104-103 in their first two meetings, with the Spurs winning the last by 126-123. Even with that win, Minnesota covered the spread as the underdogs. We’re banking on them to cover a 13.5 spread at 1.50 odds.

Our San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
It’s just hard to argue against the logic for the +13.5 handicap. It’s true Spurs will be extra aggressive here to avoid a 2-0. However, the Timberwolves are defensive masters in their own right. After all, they’ve beaten Spurs in three of their four encounters this season, while winning Game 1 in this same stadium as the heavy underdogs.
In the playoffs, Minnesota is 1st in DREB’s, makes the 3rd-highest PPG, and boasts the 2nd-highest win rate. Hence, our San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is Timberwolves +13.5 points.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
