These Spurs vs. Timberwolves predictions for tonight expect Minnesota to adjust to San Antonio's defensive pressure on Friday, May 8.
The Minnesota Timberwolves failed to make open shots early, and that quickly led to a blowout for the San Antonio Spurs. look at the one notable San Antonio adjustment from Game 2, and tell you how Naz Reid can take advantage of it on Friday, May 8.
Tip-off is set for 9:30 p.m. ET from the Target Center in Minneapolis, with the game airing on Prime Video. Minnesota is the more veteran team, the more playoff-tested team, and it has not lost at home this postseason. In fact, the Timberwolves' series-clinching win against the Nuggets came as 7.5-point underdogs; this four-point spread is nowhere near as worrying.
In four games against the Spurs this season — ignoring the game when Reid left after five minutes with a shoulder injury — Reid is 11-for-21 from deep, hitting multiple 3-pointers in every game. If the Timberwolves need to emphasize their shooters and move the ball out of Anthony Edwards’s hands quickly in the halfcourt — thereby breaking the Spurs’ designed double teams — that should naturally lead to a few additional assists for Ant-Man. Rudy Gobertin isolation.
Amid foul trouble, McDaniels has struggled to get going on offense to start this series, but he is more vital to the Timberwolves’ hopes. McDaniels also presents more of a mismatch, as well as being eager in transition. Minnesota getting off to the races is the most obvious counter to San Antonio’s defense. Every thought there encourages a second straight Over in this series, albeit hopefully a more competitive game on the way to it.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern.
He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.
In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.
While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
