The San Antonio Spurs look to keep pace for the top spot in the Western Conference when they pay a visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night on ESPN. San Antonio has taken the first meetings this season by an average of 9.7 points and have won 11 straight in the series. Kawhi Leonard scored at least 30 points in all three wins over the Timberwolves this season while averaging 33 points on 59.6% shooting from the field. Leonard looks to bounce back from a season-low 12-point outing in Sunday’s 118-102 win over Sacramento. The Spurs are trying to remain close to the first-place Golden State Warriors in the West race and are two games back entering Monday’s action. San Antonio got a boost from oft-injured point guard Tony Parker in the victory over the Kings, as the veteran scored 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting and dished out seven assists. Power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging 19.3 points and eight rebounds in three games since returning from heart arrhythmia issues.

The Timberwolves are slowly playing themselves out of playoff contention with three straight road losses, but look to get things going in the right direction tonight before heading back out on the road. Minnesota was blown out in all three losses to Boston, Miami, and New Orleans by an average of 15 points and allowed 121 points per game on the dismal road trip. The contest against San Antonio is a must-win situation for the Timberwolves before they go back on the road where they are 10-23 this season. Karl-Anthony Towns has been terrific and scored 33 points against the Pelicans to post his fourth 30-point outing in the last five games. Forward Andrew Wiggins (23.0 points) hit 10-of-19 shots against the Pelicans, but also turned the ball over five times in the losing effort. Small forward Shabazz Muhammad more than doubled his scoring and rebounding averages against New Orleans as he came off the bench to contribute 20 points and six boards.

Minnesota might be giving up on the season, but they have been playing well at Target Center, covering their last four games there. The Spurs play down to their competition sometimes and are 1-4 ATS in their last five against a team with a losing record. I’ll take the home dog in this one.
Pick: Timberwolves +5
