San Antonio at Minnesota

The San Antonio Spurs have become an injured, aging team. They still can get it up and going at home where they are 10-1 on the season, but are just 2-6 on the road. Minnesota is no longer the doormat they have been as this team has built on some good drafts from their poor finishes and is turning the corner. The biggest change has been on the defensive end. Last season through 30 games the T-Wolves had allowed 25 of the 30 teams they faced get 100 or more on them. This season at home, they have allowed 96.4 points per game a sharp contrast from a year ago. The Spurs have maintained a defensive edge as a favorite posting a 5-1 mark to the UNDER in their last six in this role. Minnesota stands in at 24-9 to the UNDER as a home dog of +4.5 or less. Play this one UNDER the total.
