The San Antonio Spurs will host the Minnesota Timberwolves for a pivotal Game 5, and we have you covered with everything you need to know before tipoff.

After four games, the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves are tied in their second-round series, 2-2. Each team has one road win and one home win, and the Spurs will hope to get some added momentum from the Frost Bank Center and the Jackals on Tuesday night.

The Wolves stole the first game of the series in San Antonio, although the Spurs were able to bounce back, blowing them out in Game 2. In Game 4, Victor Wembanyama hit Naz Reid in the jaw with a stray elbow, and after his ejection, the Spurs went on to lose a close game.

Wembanyama is not suspended and will return to the lineup in Game 5, although the Spurs could miss a key veteran. Luckily, if De'Aaron Fox doesn't play, Dylan Harper has been excellent in this postseason, so the Spurs won't be without a capable floor general and downhill guard.

Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

The Spurs have been favored in every game, but this is the first contest since Game 1 where they have been double-digit favorites.

In the postseason, Dylan Harper boasts a plus/minus of +60, while De'Aaron Fox is sitting at +56. Plus/minus is far from a perfect stat, and a four-point difference over nine games is negligible, although it does help prove that Harper is perfectly capable.

A possible starting lineup of Wembanyama, Harper, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Julian Champagnie should be solid on defense and able to space the floor, although turnovers could be a concern. Luckily, the Spurs are one of the better teams in the NBA at stopping fast breaks.

Hopefully, Fox is healthy and gets the starting nod, allowing the Spurs to lean into their depth throughout the game. Even with Fox on the injury report, the Spurs are heavy favorites.
