Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs were destined to be among the last places in the Western Conference in this 2022/23 NBA season, but the truth is that the young team led by Gregg Popovich has rebounded from a loss in its first game to win the two subsequent ones, including a surprise 114-105 win at their visit to the Philadelphia 76ers.
However, the Spurs should not take anything for granted as they enter this game as the second-highest scoring team on average with a total of 119.9 points, and if they continue their winning streak could come to an end sooner rather than later.
Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
This will be the fourth meeting of the Minnesota Timberwolves this NBA season, but it will be only the third different opponent they have faced this season, as their two wins to date have come against the Oklahoma City Thunder, including yesterday’s 116-106 away victory.
Something that Minnesota has excelled in these first days of NBA action has been rebounding, as the team is first in average rebounds per game with 56.3 and second in average offensive rebounds with 15.7, so winning the duel could be key to keep the victory.
JefeBet Prediction
The bookmakers are heavily favoring the Minnesota Timberwolves, although this could be a mistake considering two factors: that the T-Wolves played yesterday and had to make the long trip from Oklahoma to their home, and that the Spurs have not looked bad at all at the start of the season.
The fact that San Antonio was able to beat the Philadelphia 76ers should be synonymous with the good work this team is doing.The team will arrive at Target Center much more rested, and while its defense has not looked the best in the first few days, the extra day of rest could begin to show as the minutes go by.
We do not believe the Spurs will lose by a wide margin as the spread suggests.
Prediction: San Antonio Spurs Spread (SAS 112 – MIN 116)
