Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 70% chance of winning the game
The Spurs are poised to snap their losing streak against Minnesota due to a significant rest advantage and the likely absence of Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards.
Key Analysis
- • Minnesota is likely without leading scorer Anthony Edwards (foot), leaving a massive void in their offensive production.
- • The Spurs enter with a major rest advantage, having not played since Thursday, while the Timberwolves are on the second night of a back-to-back following a loss in Houston.
- • San Antonio's defense ranks 3rd in the league (112.1 rating) and is well-positioned to contain a depleted Wolves attack.
- • Victor Wembanyama (23.9 PPG, 11.1 RPG) presents a mismatch nightmare for a fatigued Minnesota frontcourt.
- • The Spurs have strong momentum after a dominant 119-101 victory over the Bucks where starters rested the fourth quarter.
- • Minnesota must rely heavily on Julius Randle to exceed his season averages and control the pace to overcome the fatigue factor.
