Spurs lose to Timberwolves 141-124, with Fox scoring 20 points; facing Mavericks next.

The San Antonio Spurs suffered a tough defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves, ending the game with a score of 141-124. Anthony Edwards shone for the Timberwolves, scoring 25 points on an impressive 10-for-15 shooting performance. Naz Reid also made a significant impact, contributing 20 points and seven rebounds.

For the Spurs, De`Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle each scored 20 points, but the team struggled defensively, allowing the Timberwolves to connect on 21-of-42 three-point attempts. The Spurs now hold a record of 26-36 for the season, facing challenges since Victor Wembanyama was sidelined with a season-ending injury.

Looking ahead, the Spurs are set to host the Dallas Mavericks on March 11, 2025, in a Texas showdown that has lost some excitement due to injuries affecting both teams. The Mavericks are grappling with significant injuries to key players like Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, while the Spurs continue to feel the impact of Wembanyama`s absence. Despite these setbacks, the Spurs are favored to win, thanks to their deeper roster.

The predicted starting lineup for the Spurs includes Chris Paul, De`Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, and Bismack Biyombo. The Mavericks are expected to feature Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, and Kessler Edwards. The odds favor the Spurs with a moneyline of -250 and a spread of -6.5.
