With the Western Conference Semifinals evened up at 1-1, the San Antonio Spurs will hit the road to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and we have you covered with everything you need to know before Game 3.
After dropping Game 1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the back of lackluster offensive play from De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs roared back in Game 2, winning 133-95.
With the series tied at a game apiece, the Spurs will travel north to the Twin Cities for the next two games. In the first round, the Spurs went undefeated in Portland, winning Games 2 and 3, although the Wolves are simply a better team, so splitting the games before the series heads back to Texas should be considered a win.
Anthony Edwards remains on the injury report for the Wolves, and fans can expect him to come off the bench as he did in the first two games. The Spurs, meanwhile, remain the betting favorite.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

Ayo Dosunmu missed Game 1 with a calf injury before returning for Game 2. However, he suffered a new heel injury, although the Wolves don't expect it to be too serious. Minnesota remains without Donte DiVincenzo, who tore his Achilles, and Edwards won't be at 100 percent, but the Spurs are totally healthy.
Even with the injury advantage and the best player in the world on their side, the Spurs' odds have slipped with each game this series. After being 13.5-point favorites in Game 1, San Antonio is barely holding onto a betting lead heading into Game 3, but they are still the outright favorites to win the series.
On the other side of the bracket, the Oklahoma City Thunder took a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite winning by 18 points, the officiating in that series has been suspect at best, and fans in 29 markets are worried that OKC is getting a friendly whistle, ruining some of the NBA's integrity.
