The San Antonio Spurs can land the knockout punch on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6.

Spurs vs Timberwolves best bet: De’Aaron Fox Over 16.5 points (-115)

The T-Wolves just don’t have the horses to keep up with that offense, especially with Anthony Edwards not at 100%, and the T-Wolves’ poor outside shooting unable to close the gap.

Wembanyama keeps topping his rebounding props, snatching at least 15 boards in four of the first five games. The only game he didn’t top that…
