The San Antonio Spurs will complete the second half of a road back-to-back on Sunday night as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and we have you covered with everything you need to know before tipoff.
The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a hard-fought win over the Boston Celtics, and there will be no time to rest or recover. The Spurs are in the meat of the NBA schedule, and after their latest win, will have a quick turnaround as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Wolves are the only team currently in the playoff picture that the Spurs don't have a winning record against. In their lone matchup, the Spurs fell 125-112, although Victor Wembanyama didn't suit up. Wemby has been coming off the bench as of late, and he and Keldon Johnson are both playing like Sixth Man of the Year frontrunners, so the Spurs have the depth edge over Minnesota, especially after Nickiel Alexander-Walker left this offseason for Atlanta.
In what could very well be a playoff preview, the Spurs will be near full health, although Devin Vassell remains out.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

- Over/under: 235.5
Considering that the Spurs are coming off no rest and had to travel, a 2.5-point spread seems generous, although it's worth noting that Minnesota played the Cleveland Cavaliers last night, on the road as well. The Wolves were handed a loss and would like to get a win in front of their home crowd.
Wembanyama has long since passed Rudy Gobert as the best current French NBA player, although their "rivalry" always presents a fun matchup. After Wembanyama's stellar play helped lead to Gobert getting benched in the 2024 Olympics, the "friendliness" of the matchup might be gone, making this must-watch TV.
