The San Antonio Spurs will be taking on one of the hottest teams in the league when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.
San Antonio is coming off a loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday as they rested Dejounte Murray, Jakob Poeltl, and Keldon Johnson on the second night of a back-to-back. Jock Landale had his best game in the NBA, scoring 26 points on 12-of-15 shooting while pulling down seven boards.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves defeated the Miami Heat 113-104 on Saturday, marking their seventh win in their last eight games.
In their last meeting on November 18th, the Timberwolves dominated in front of their home crowd, beating San Antonio 115-90. Karl-Anthony Towns led all scorers with 25 points for Minnesota while Devin Vassell's 18 paced the Spurs. Dejounte Murray had a forgettable outing in that one, scoring just seven points on 2-for-12 shooting.

San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs might still be in the play-in tournament hunt, but their recurring issues aren't exactly helping their cause. Facing a thriving opponent like Minnesota that's making a push to avoid the play-in altogether, they'll have to be much more consistent defensively while picking up their shot-making.
Opponent Role Player to Watch: On December 26, 2018, a switch flipped in shooting guard Malik Beasley that he hasn't turned off against San Antonio since. A career 10.4 points-per-game scorer, he's averaged 21.8 points per game in his last eight outings versus the Silver and Black. It's safe to say he's the one to watch.
The Timberwolves are balling right now, and I'm not convinced San Antonio can pull off another upset in three games.
Timberwolves 109, Spurs 104
