San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 3/9/25, 4:11 AM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 3/9/25 at 4:22 AM in NBA Picks

The San Antonio Spurs will be aiming to even the season series when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Sunday night. The Timberwolves have climbed to seventh place in the Western Conference standings, while the Spurs remain entrenched in the 13th spot. Minnesota enters this matchup with momentum, coming off a narrow two-point victory over the Miami Heat.

The Timberwolves are currently riding a four-game winning streak, benefiting from both an easier schedule and strong contributions from their bench unit. Anthony Edwards continues to be the team’s primary offensive weapon, demonstrating his ability to carry the scoring load efficiently. Randle’s return has provided the team with additional versatility, though he is still adjusting to his new role within the system.

Meanwhile, the Spurs come into this game after an 18-point loss to the Sacramento Kings, despite a standout 25-point performance from rookie Stephon Castle. The team has struggled significantly since the beginning of January, posting an 8-19 record in that span. Their struggles are particularly concerning given that even when Victor Wembanyama was available, they were unable to string together consistent performances. His absence has further exposed the team's weaknesses, particularly on the defensive end. Additionally, newly acquired guard De’Aaron Fox has yet to find his rhythm in San Antonio as he adjusts to a different offensive system.
