The Minnesota Timberwolves (2-2) will meet the San Antonio Spurs (2-3) at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. Keep an eye on Anthony Edwards for Minnesota, who led the team with 37 points in their final game, and Victor Wembanyama for San Antonio, who had a remarkable effort in their last game. Minnesota wants their second straight road victory, while San Antonio aims to build on their previous success.
Despite a 120-114 defeat to Dallas, Minnesota’s offense has been excellent, averaging 111.5 points per game. Anthony Edwards led the team with 37 points in the Timberwolves’ final game. They have been decent defensively, ranking 12th in the league, but they will need to tighten up after surrendering 120 points in their most recent game.
The Spurs ended a two-game losing streak with a 106-88 victory against Utah. They’ve been good defensively, allowing just 105 points per game. Victor Wembanyama had a remarkable effort, finishing with 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks. San Antonio will need to improve its shooting since it only hit 27.9% of its three-pointers in its last game.
Prediction:
Both teams have shown potential, but there are clear areas for improvement. Minnesota’s attack has been effective, but its defense needs tightening. San Antonio’s defense has been strong, but its shooting must improve. Given their home court advantage and previous defensive play, the San Antonio Spurs are in a strong position to win this game, but the need for improvement in both teams keeps the game’s outcome uncertain and engaging.
