The intriguing series between the Spurs and Timberwolves is tied 2-2, and they will return to the Frost Bank Center to play on Tuesday. The series, in which the Timberwolves managed to pull off two wins as underdogs, reached another level of unpredictability when Wembanyama was ejected early in Game 4.

Even so, the tremendous blow that the French superstar's ejection in Game 4 represented for the Spurs made it difficult for the Timberwolves to capitalize. They finally managed to do so, winning 114-109 in Minneapolis. They had to step on the gas in the fourth quarter; Edwards scored 16 of his 36 points in the game. With the score at 94-91, he appealed to the crowd to get involved, and they certainly made their presence felt. Gobert, who scored , spoke about his team's resilience. He said they aren't the most consistent, but they know how to play their best when it matters.

The latest reports indicate that the NBA will not suspend Wembanyama heading into Game 5; the punishment for the flagrant foul and the elbow will remain in Game 4. On May 4 and 5, when this series was played in San Antonio, Wembanyama recorded a double-double in each game, and in game 3 he elevated his superstar level with a 39-point, 15-rebound night at the Target Center.

San Antonio Spurs - Minnesota Timberwolves Key Points

  1. The Spurs are averaging 119.8 points per game this season
  2. The Spurs' field goal percentage is sixth-best in the NBA at 48.3%

Our San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Spurs will have Wembanyama back, and that certainly impacted the odds at the sportsbooks for Game 5. But now the concern is De'Aaron Fox, who, due to ankle soreness, would be Harper's immediate replacement for the veteran's absence in Game 5.

The series has been incredibly volatile and treacherous for betting, but it still looks like an attractive bet to go for another game total over; the last three games comfortably exceeded the total game total stipulated by the sportsbooks.

Our prediction for Spurs vs Timberwolves is: Over 218.5.
