Does the Texans’ losing streak continue?
A clash in the Western Conference between the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs – you can read the betting tip and odds here! The hosts are top of the West, while the visitors from Texas are bottom of the table
The role of favorite in the clash can therefore clearly be placed on the side of the home side. They have earned their place in the sun thanks to their very strong home performances, among other things.
The hosts have only lost one of their ten games in front of their own fans! Only the champions from Denver top this win rate in the Western Conference home standings. For the Timberwolves’ game against San Antonio, the forecast of less than 107.5 points by the visitors seems promising.
Minnesota Timberwolves – stats & current form
Minnesota is, as described, a power at home. Even the reigning champions from Denver and the runners-up from Miami have already been beaten at the Target Center. The defense in particular is very strong: in half of the ten home games, the visitors have scored in double figures.
Just how strong the Minneapolis basketball team’s defensive work is can also be seen from the fact that only the Knicks from New York allow fewer points per game in the NBA. The home side also delivers more than half a dozen blocks per game – another very strong figure that only three franchises in the league surpass
Clear home win for the hosts?
It’s not uncommon for coach Chris Finch’s team to win games with aplomb. The Timberwolves have a points difference of +6.9 – the fourth-best result.
As they are now also up against a lightweight in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ clash with the San Antonio Spurs is also a good bet for a home win with at least a 13-point difference
San Antonio Spurs – Statistics & current form
San Antonio are in a stubborn crisis: The visitors have not won for no less than 14 rounds! Only the utterly disastrous Pistons have topped this number of consecutive defeats in the Eastern Conference.
Even though the Texans picked Victor Wembanyama, arguably the NBA’s next superstar, first overall in the last draft before the season, the Frenchman has not yet been able to lift San Antonio to a higher level of play.
More than 118 points by the home side?
A permanent problem is the inadequate defensive work. This applies in particular to the visiting games of coach Gregg Popovich’s team. The Spurs concede an average of no less than 125.5 points away from home.
In view of this, betting tips and odds of more than 118.5 points by the hosts are also worth considering for the clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs. The forecast is available at Interwetten, among others
