Teams Preview

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are ready for the second round of the NBA playoffs 2025/26. The Spurs overcame the Portland Trail Blazers 4-1 in the first round. In Game 5, they defeated Portland 114-95 to complete the series win. It was their third straight victory. They are truly a motivated force in the 2025/26 season. The Spurs allowed just 100 points per game during the first-round playoffs. They will stay home for Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

The Spurs were 2-1 at home in the playoffs. They averaged 119.8 points per game (third-best) and allowed 111.5 points per game in the regular season. They ranked sixth in the field goals (48.3%). San Antonio won the playoffs series for the first time since 2017. They won their previous conference semifinal series. This season, they posted a 62-20 record which was their best run since 2017. San Antonio are chasing 6th title glory in NBA history. 

San Antonio last won the NBA title in 2014. They will face the Timberwolves for the first time in the playoffs since 2001 when they won the series 3-1. The Spurs defeated the Wolves two out of two times in the playoffs series. Victor Wembanyama could be our offensive threat in this game. He is a big match player and the Frenchman will surely make a difference. He averaged 25.0 points and 11 rebounds in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home fixture. 

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves again upset all the odds to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in the first-round playoffs. The Wolves outclassed the Nuggets 4-2 and reached the conference semifinals for the second straight year. Minnesota will be locking horns against the San Antonio Spurs in the next round. The Wolves defeated them two times out of three in the regular season. Minnesota are known for their inspiring run and this year, Anthony Edwards is getting support from other players. 

Minnesota averaged 118 points per game in the regular season and allowed 114.6 points per game. They faced the Spurs twice in the playoffs series in 1999 and 2001. On both occasions, the Spurs had the last laugh. The Wolves have a 2-6 record against the Spurs in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Wolves never lost the second round series in the playoffs. It will be their fourth appearance in the conference semifinals. The Timberwolves played in the conference finals in the last two seasons. 

Minnesota are also chasing the NBA championship and they have the best team to do so. The winner of this series can face the OKC Thunder in the conference finals. If we pick out the offensive threat for Game 1, Anthony Edwards is the right pick. The 24-year-old star averaged 28.8 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in this game.
