Timberwolves at Spurs - NBA Picks: The bottom rung of the NBA Western Conference picture is pretty crowded with San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Portland all tied-up for that seventh seed slot. While all three teams have qualified for the post-season, there is still plenty of jockeying for a better playoffs position between them. The Spurs have the best chance to improve Monday night (20:40 p.m. Eastern) when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves at AT&T Center in San Antonio.
NBA Picks oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com list the Spurs as 14 1/2-chalk favorites versus the T-Wolves with a 188 1/2 total.
The Timberwolves are struggling having lost five straight and nine of their last 10 games. It is unlikely they will mount enough challenge to win tonight's game, however; they could get a break if the Spurs rest a few starters. If that happens, the Timberwolves would be a great bet to cover as 14 1/2-spread dogs. Count out any thought of Minnesota winning this game. Too much is on the line for San Antonio to let that happen.
The Timberwolves lost to New Orleans 114-86 as a 5.5-point underdog on Sunday. The combined score fell UNDER the posted over/under total (213).
Ryan Gomes led Minnesota with 18 points and Ramon Sessions had 17 points. The Spurs poured in 36 points in the fourth quarter of a 104-85 victory over the Nuggets on Saturday, as 6.5-point underdogs. That game's 189 points went UNDER the posted total of 201. Chauncey Billups collected a game-high 27 points in a losing effort for the Nuggets.
