FNG, I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction. I think this is the classic setup for a poor performance from the Wolves. One thing I've learned in all my years of gambling is never bet against a streak. I still don't think this team has the mental maturity to come out tonight and take care of business. We may get off to a good lead in the first half, but you have vastly different cultures in this game. And even though we have more talent and should win, I don't see us coming out on top in the end. I really hope I'm wrong, but as you all know that doesn't happen too often.

Sure... now back to reality...

The Wolves are two-point favorites in this one. I expect Chris Finch to continue with the same starting lineup he's used the last four games: Patrick Beverley, D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Naz Reid is considered a game-time decision as of right now. Apparently, he's still working through some foot issues, but I liked what he brought last night. The Wolves need all the interior scoring they can get.

Something to pay attention to tonight is bench scoring. The Spurs aren't super talented, but they do have a number of quality reserves that can pop off. Thaddeus Young, Bryn Forbes, Devin Vassell, and Lonnie Walker are all capable of filling it up. Hopefully, we don't get shot out of the gym tonight, but if they get it going, then Minnesota has to answer with good games from Malik Beasley, Jaden McDaniels, and Taurean Prince. Unfortunately, good games from those three have been scant to this point.

Josh Okogie is out. Naz Reid is active.

Will tonight be the two-game winning streak that allows me to return!?

I hope so Bloop, but I'm betting against it. But who knows, maybe the guys can pull their heads out of their Camdens and get it done.

7-0 run to open the game. Ant has scored all seven. One three, one tough lefty finish, and one dunk assisted by KAT. Good way to start the game.
