ABOUT THE SPURS (5-5): San Antonio retired the number of future Hall of Famer Tony Parker on Monday, but it wasn't enough to spark the team as it came out flat once again and was outscored 35-22 in the first quarter. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called a timeout and replaced his entire starting lineup five minutes into Saturday's loss to Boston but was not quite as quick to give up on his front line Monday despite another slow start. San Antonio did not have a player reach 20 points against the Grizzlies as LaMarcus Aldridge led the way with 19.
The Spurs are 7-2 Against The Spread in the last 9 meetings in Minnesota, 4 of the last 6 meetings and 8 of the last 10.
ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (6-4): Minnesota is getting a big lift from forward Andrew Wiggins, who scored 33 points on Monday and is averaging 30.6 points over the last five contests. Wiggins is thriving in coach Ryan Saunders' system, which encourages a quicker pace and plenty of 3-point attempts. "We kept believing," Wiggins told reporters. "Even in preseason - we had a tough time with it. I feel like now it's getting better and every game we're just learning more, getting more used to it and getting better."
