Betting tips for the Spurs-TWolves matchup on Tuesday night

The San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves clash this Tuesday night in the backend of a NBA double header of betting action on ESPN. VietBet has opened the Spurs as five-point road favorites for the Western Conference tilt and the total for the game has been set at 205.5.

The Spurs continue to give Golden State a run for its money as the top team in the West with a straight-up record of 53-16, while going 36-32-1 against the spread. However, they needed a 118-102 victory at home against Sacramento as heavy 14.5-point favorites to snap a rare two-game skid both SU and ATS. Going back to March 1, San Antonio is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games. The total went OVER VietBet's closing 202-point total line in Sunday's win and it has gone OVER in the last four games.

Pau Gasol scored a game-high 22 points off the bench against the Kings, but this win was a total team effort with a total of seven players scoring in double figures. Kawhi Leonard remains the Spurs' leading scorer this season with 26.1 points per game as part of a team scoring average of 106.5 points that is ranked 12th in the NBA.

The betting line has held at most sportsbooks since the opening odds were posted, and the current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet have the Spurs as road favorites!

San Antonio Spurs         (-5) -110
Minnesota Timberwolves (+5) -110

Over 205.5 points  (-110)
Under 205.5 points (-110)

Minnesota has dropped four of its last five games (SU and ATS) to fall to 28-41 SU (32-37 ATS) on the year and basically out of playoff contention in the West. The total went OVER VietBet's closing 208.5-point line in Sunday's 123-109 loss to New Orleans as a 3.5-point road underdog and it has now gone OVER in the last four games. The Timberwolves return home from their recent three-game road trip with a SU 18-18 record (19-17 ATS) on their home court this season.

Despite the current record in the standings, the future continues to look bright for Minnesota behind the duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Towns ended the game against the Pelicans with 33 points and Wiggins added 25 points while going 10-for-19 from the floor. Ricky Rubio leads the team in assists with 8.9 a game and he dished out 14 against New Orleans.

Betting against the Spurs at this point of the season does not make all that much sense given the fact that they need all the victories they can get to stay in the race for the top playoff seed in the conference. What does make sense to me is the OVER on VietBet's 205.5-point total line for this game in what should be a very entertaining matchup.
