Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/17/26

The Minnesota Timberwolves will play their second game of a back-to-back this Saturday night when they take on the San Antonio Spurs. The Timberwolves have a record of 27-15 this season, and they are 12-9 when playing on the road. Minnesota has won 3 of their last 5 games, but they did lose last night against the Houston Rockets 110-105. Julius Randle led the team in scoring with 39 points with Anthony Edwards absent. Edwards remains listed as day-to-day heading into Saturday. The Spurs have a record of 28-13 this season, and they are 14-5 on their home court. San Antonio has won 3 of its last 5 games, and it is coming off a 119-101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Victor Wembanyama led the team in scoring with 22 points; Stephon Castle added 19 points and 10 assists.

The Timberwolves have a 2-0 record this season against San Antonio. They defeated the Spurs 125-112 on November 30 and 104-103 on January 11. Edwards led Minnesota in scoring in both of those contests, so his potential absence will give the Spurs a different look. The Timberwolves remain a competitive team — even without Edwards in the starting lineup. They are 5-4 in the nine games he has not played this season, and only one of those 4 losses came by more than 6 points. The Timberwolves have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA since late November. They have a record of 17-7 in their last 24 games, and they have increased their intensity on the defensive end. The Timberwolves are once again looking like one of the favorites in the Western Conference. Even if Edwards does not play, it is not enough to justify them as this heavy of an underdog.
