The Spurs are 6-26 on the road this season and have lost 11 of their last 12 games overall and 8 of their last 9 on the road.
The Timberwolves are 20-6 at home and 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
There is no reason to bet the Spurs believing they will beat the West's top team on the road, and there isn't a point to betting the home team at -1100 odds.
