NBA Betting Pick on San Antonio at Minnesota

On Tuesday, the San Antonio Spurs head north to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in NBA betting action. The Spurs (53-9) are in first place in the Southwest Division and knocked off the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, 104-94. They play in Indiana Monday night before taking on Minnesota on Tuesday. The Timberwolves (20-43) are in fifth place in the Northwest Division but just routed Brooklyn on Saturday, 132-118. They play in Charlotte on Monday night before returning home to face the Spurs.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Spurs?

Despite the fact that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will miss the games in Indiana and Minneapolis to tent to a family matter, the Spurs should still roll with plenty of momentum. Manu Ginobili has returned from his testicular injury without any rust and is contributing to the Spurs’ offense once again. The Spurs also have the ability to clamp down on opposing offenses even with a couple of starters out, as they held the Kings to just 13 points in the third quarter of their victory. They will be able to control an energetic but flawed Timberwolves roster.

Why Should You Bet on Minnesota?

Karl-Anthony Towns showed a new level of growth in the Timberwolves’ 132-118 rout of Brooklyn over the weekend. However, this squad has a tough game in Charlotte the night before returning home to face the Spurs. If the Timberwolves can start stringing impressive performances together, my perspective on them will change. For now, though, the only way I bet on Minnesota is if I can get a double-digit line.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like the Spurs to head north and take care of business in the Twin Cities, winning 104-92 against the Timberwolves.
