It's hard to expect much more than a play-in game, but the Texans have already shed their underdog status. Indeed, San Antonio's back-to-back victories before their clash with Minnesota again proved it. The Spurs have beaten two opponents below them in the standings. First at home against New Orleans (121:116), then on the road against Portland (118:116).

Now San Antonio has a positive balance of wins - 13-12. In the Western Conference, the Spurs share tenth place with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Minnesota's last game was against the Los Angeles Lakers. Chris Finch's side put the troubled Lakers to the sword with a double-digit margin of victory. 97:87 - The Timberwolves not only confirmed their status as one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. Minnesota currently ranks fourth in the league in defensive rating, allowing opponents to score an average of 106.1 points per game.

At the same time, the Timberwolves have a slightly better-winning record than San Antonio—13:11. Despite a slow start to the season, Minnesota struggled to find its stride following a roster overhaul.

Minnesota had won five of their previous six games and were gaining momentum. It is worth noting that Chris Finch's team only surrendered more than 100 points once in that run, which was a loss to Golden State. Why won't the Wolves show their best side again in San Antonio with a win in a low-scoring game? There's no reason to think they won't, as the Wolves are still superior to the Spurs in every way.
