Prediction

San Antonio has won three of five including two blowouts (126-97 and 133-95). But Minnesota has protected home court in this series, and the Wolves’ pace advantage at Target Center matters. The total of 218.5 looks high for two slow-paced teams – the Under has value. For the winner, SAS at -190 reflects their dominant series record, but MIN’s home shooting splits make this closer than the line suggests. Projection: SAS cover attempt, but expect a competitive game under the total.
