Anthony Edwards hit a game-winner to take down the Spurs on Sunday, but Ant-Man is banged up, and the Spurs are playing at home. Minnesota is on the second leg of a back-to-back set and will play its third road game in four days. I'll take the healthier, rested Spurs to get revenge against the Wolves and cover the spread at home.
