Timberwolves vs. Spurs Opening Odds for Game 5 (San Antonio Double-Digit Favorites Again)

The second round series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs shifts back to the Lonestar State for Game 5 on Tuesday night.

The series is at a 2-2 tie after the Timberwolves got a 114-109 victory on Sunday night. Of course, Victor Wembanyama was ejected in that one, opening the door for an opportunity that Minnesota capitalized on.

Wembanyama isn’t going to be suspended despite elbowing Naz Reid in the face, so the Spurs will once again be big home favorites in Game 5.

Let’s get right into the opening odds for Timberwolves vs. Spurs Game 3 in the second round of the NBA Playoffs on Saturday, May 9.
