Players to watch<\/h2>\n

Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio.<\/strong> Three straight games of 23 or more, and he has led the Spurs in scoring in four of five. Rudy Gobert, his teammate with France, is the man in his way.<\/p>\n

Trey Lyles, Minnesota.<\/strong> Ten points in 17 minutes on Friday, his best night of the season. The Saskatoon-raised forward has scored in every game off the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n

Score prediction<\/h2>\n

Spurs 119-108 Timberwolves.<\/strong> Last season’s ratings make San Antonio about a seven-point favourite at home. Edwards’ absence and Minnesota’s back-to-back push it further the Spurs’ way.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves vs Spurs prediction<\/h2>\n

Minnesota has beaten Toronto and the Clippers comfortably without Edwards, but both of those were at home. The Spurs have won three straight, and Wembanyama is averaging 25 and 11.<\/p>\n

Our pick: San Antonio to win, the Spurs at -8.5 or shorter.<\/strong> No total.<\/p>\n

The player prop here is Rudy Gobert over 10.5 rebounds. He has grabbed 15, 9, 13, 20, 4 and 13, clearing the line in four of six, and the four came in 20 minutes against Golden State. Wembanyama’s 11.4 a game make it a contest on the glass. Covers’ NBA prop board had 10.5 at 8:03 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Every club is rated in our NBA power rankings<\/a>, and the NBA games tonight<\/a> page carries the rest of Saturday’s games.<\/p>\n\n

What time is Timberwolves vs Spurs?<\/strong>

Tip-off is 8:00pm ET \/ 7:00pm CT on Saturday 31 October 2026 at Frost Bank Center, San Antonio.<\/p><\/div>
