Minnesota @ San Antonio

Current Records: Minnesota 5-15; San Antonio 11-10

What to Know

The Minnesota Timberwolves need to shore up a defense that is allowing 115.6 points per matchup before their game Wednesday. Their road trip will continue as they head to AT&T Center at 8:30 p.m. ET to face off against the San Antonio Spurs. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

It was a hard-fought contest, but the Timberwolves had to settle for a 100-98 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Shooting guard Malik Beasley had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 33 minutes with 5-for-14 shooting and four turnovers.

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 133-102, which was the final score in San Antonio's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Small forward Keldon Johnson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 25 points and ten boards.

Minnesota isn't expected to pull this one out, facing a spread of 8 points in the Spurs' favor. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money in their wallets whenever they hit the road.

The losses put Minnesota at 5-15 and the Spurs at 11-10. The Timberwolves are 3-11 after losses this season, San Antonio 4-5.
