Throw out Game 2. The Minnesota Timberwolves failed to make open shots early, and that quickly led to a blowout for the San Antonio Spurs. 

However, little of what was seen on Wednesday can be projected forward.

My Spurs vs. Timberwolves predictions and NBA picks look at the one notable San Antonio adjustment from Game 2 and ponder how Minnesota will respond to it in Game 3 on Friday, May 8.

Spurs vs Timberwolves best bet: Naz Reid Over 1.5 threes (-120)

The first adjustment in this series came from the San Antonio Spurs, sending an extra defender at Anthony Edwards nearly every time he touched the ball as a means of disrupting the Minnesota Timberwolves’ offense.

In response, expect Minnesota to emphasize its shooters.That starts with Naz Reid, finally looking close to healthy and already 5-of-7 from deep in this series.

In four games against the Spurs this season — ignoring the game when Reid left after five minutes with a shoulder injury — Reid is 11-for-21 from deep, hitting multiple 3-pointers in every game.

If the Timberwolves need to emphasize their shooters and move the ball out of Anthony Edwards’s hands quickly in the halfcourt — thereby breaking the Spurs’ designed double teams — that should naturally lead to a few additional assists for Ant-Man.

Those assists are unlikely to come in the paint, though. They will come on deep 3-pointers.

One player who does not take those is obviously Rudy Gobert, whose minutes should continue to be diminished in this specific series.
