Timberwolves vs Spurs Player Props & Picks for Game 2

- Why I like De’Aaron Fox to go over his assists tonight and Anthony Edwards to be under his points line
After the Timberwolves pulled off the upset with a 104-102 win Monday in Game 1, the Spurs fight to even up the series Wednesday evening. I expect a physical affair following a grueling series opener where Victor Wembanyama immediately asserted himself as a massive defensive anchor. The NBA odds have the home squad as the favorite to bounce back to knot the series at one game.
Tip-off for this skirmish is scheduled for 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET Wednesday night, with the action broadcasting nationally on ESPN in the United States and Sportsnet in Canada from the Frost Bank Center. Keep reading for my selections for NBA Player Props in this duel.
Timberwolves vs Spurs Player-Prop Picks
De’Aaron Fox OVER 5.5 Assists (-136 at DraftKings)
The Spurs rely heavily on their backcourt to initiate the slow halfcourt offense and feed Victor Wembanyama. De’Aaron Fox has been the reliable engine, averaging a team-high 6.7 assists across six playoff appearances. That includes 6+ assists in five of six contests.
This playmaking volume is backed by an incredible regular season baseline. Across 35 home games, Fox operated with remarkable consistency, averaging 6.6 assists per game. That court vision seamlessly translated into Game 1, where he dished out six assists in 33 minutes.
Given the Timberwolves’ aggressive defense that aims to collapse on drives, Fox will continuously kick the ball out or dump it down low to clear this number.
Anthony Edwards UNDER 20.5 Points (-107 at DraftKings)
Fading a superstar in the playoffs isn’t the most fun, but the structural nightmare of the Spurs’ interior defense makes me bullish on Anthony Edwards failing to eclipse 21 or more points. The Timberwolves are an aggressively downhill team that lives at the rim, but they are clashing against an absolute fortress.
That regression collided head-on with elite rim protection in Game 1. Wembanyama personally accounted for 12 blocks, restricting Edwards to just 18 points. In his last three playoff games, ANT has failed to crack the 21 point threshold. It’s a risk, however Edwards was a surprise to play the first instalment of this series due to a knee injury. That certainly will still affect him, so I’m going under his total.

MIN vs SA Injury Report
In the NBA starting lineups, the Timberwolves are dealing with some critical backcourt absences that drastically shift their rotation. Donte DiVincenzo is out for the season with a torn Achilles, and Ayo Dosunmu is day-to-day with a calf issue after missing the series opener. That’s not to mention the concern with Anthony Edwards’ status.
On the other side, the Spurs are missing David Jones Garcia (ankle, out for season) and Carter Bryant (foot, day-to-day). Because these absences do not interfere with the core starting lineup, oddsmakers have kept the lines for heavily backed stars relatively stable.
