After a nail-biting 104-102 victory in Game 1, the Timberwolves are looking to build momentum, while the Spurs are desperate to even the score on their home court.

Game 1 was a showcase of incredible talent and drama. Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama made history with an NBA playoff-record 12 blocks, a defensive masterclass that kept San Antonio in the game.

His presence on the court added a new dynamic to Minnesota's offense, proving crucial in the narrow win.

For Game 2, the oddsmakers are favoring the Spurs, listing them as 9.5-point favorites with an over/under of 215.5 points.
