SportsLine’s simulation ran Timberwolves-Spurs Game 5 10,000 times and projected 222 total points, making the over on 218.5 its featured pick.
The model says the over lands in 55% of simulations, extending a trend that has seen it hit in seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings and each of San Antonio’s last three games.
Minnesota tied the Western Conference semifinal 2-2 with a 114-109 win Sunday, but Victor Wembanyama is available after his first career ejection drew no extra discipline.
San Antonio enters Tuesday’s 8 p.m. ET home game as a 10.5-point favorite at Frost Bank Center, though De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper are listed questionable.
After escaping suspension for his ejection, will Victor Wembanyama's play decide the pivotal Game 5 for the Spurs?
Can Anthony Edwards single-handedly overcome the heavily favored Spurs and their now-healthy lineup on the road?
