The #2-seed San Antonio Spurs (66-21,50-36-2 ATS) will meet the #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (53-35, 40-48 ATS) in the second round of the 2026 NBA playoff bracket.
Despite the absence of Anthony Edwards (week-to-week with multiple knee injuries), the shorthanded T-wolves beat the Nuggets on Thursday night to earn a 4-2 series victory, cashing as +300 underdogs to advance.
The Spurs eased past the Trail Blazers 4-1, though had to do without superstar center Victor Wembenyama for most of Games 2 and 3 due to a concussion. The 2024 first-overall pick returned with a vengeance in Games 4 and 5, racking up 44 points, 26 rebounds, and an absurd 13 blocks in the final two games of the series.
With Edwards’ availability in doubt, San Antonio has opened as a massive favorite to advance to the Western Conference final.
