This is a 10* on OVER

This hasn't been your average Spurs team. The current stretch - where they've lost nine of 10 - is one of the worst ever under Greg Popovich. The one win was against the Knicks. Part of the regression, maybe even the biggest one, is defense. Normally, you see San Antonio among the league leaders in points allowed. This year, they are giving up 115.3 points/game. Saturday's win over the Knicks marked the only time in the last three weeks the Spurs didn't allow at least 110 points. They've allowed 110+ in all but four games this year. Minnesota just scored 125 on Atlanta two nights ago, ending a streak where they'd gone Under four straight times. The Timberwolves aren't very sound themselves defensively. They also give up more than 115 points/game. But one interesting tidbit about this T'wolves team is how much they are scoring on the road. Their 119.2 points/game scoring average in road games is second highest in the league. So one of the highest totals of the Popovich era shouldn't surprise you here. Minnesota is 6-0 Over this year against teams with a losing record. The Spurs are 6-12. The Over has hit seven of the last eight times these teams have met. Play OVER Minnesota-San Antonio
