KEY GAME INFORMATION

SAN ANTONIO: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost 4-3 to Denver in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Gregg Popovich (24th season, 1245-575).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Dejounte Murray (missed last season with knee injury), G Bryn Forbes (11.8 ppg), G DeMar DeRozan (21.2), F LaMarcus Aldridge (21.3), C Jakob Poeltl (5.5).
KEY LOSSES: None
KEY ADDITIONS: F DeMarre Carroll, F Trey Lyles, G/F Keldon Johnson, F Luka Samanic
PLAYERS TO WATCH: DeRozan spent most of last season processing a trade that unexpectedly sent him to the Spurs and away from the Toronto Raptors, the franchise he pledged his devotion to ' then watched them win a title. Murray's injury also forced DeRozan to become the team's main distributor for the first time in his career. DeRozan set a career high with 6.2 assists per game but also had his second-lowest scoring average in six seasons. Murray is back and spent the offseason sending video of specific plays to show the 30-year-old guard how he could help him score more easily.
OUTLOOK: The Spurs continue to get younger and faster while trying to maintain their veteran presence and corporate knowledge. The latter received a huge boost with the addition of Hall of Famer Tim Duncan as an assistant coach. Duncan's knowledge of the Spurs' system, work ethic and camaraderie should help the team's development as it attempts to an establish an identity separate from but similar to the Big Three era spearheaded by Duncan that led to five NBA championships. Murray's return along with the return of White, expected emergence of Lonnie Walker IV and addition of Carroll should make the Spurs among the best wing defenses in the league.

MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 36-46, finished 11th in Western Conference.
COACH: Ryan Saunders (second season, 17-25 as interim coach last season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Jeff Teague (12.1 ppg), G Andrew Wiggins (18.1), F Jake Layman (7.6), F Robert Covington (14.5), C Karl-Anthony Towns (24.4).
KEY LOSSES: G Derrick Rose, G Tyus Jones, F Taj Gibson, F Dario Saric, F Anthony Tolliver, G Jerryd Bayless, F Luol Deng.
KEY ADDITIONS: Layman, G Jarrett Culver, G Shabazz Napier, G/F Treveon Graham, F Noah Vonleh, F Jordan Bell, G Jaylen Nowell, C Naz Reid.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Towns is as versatile of a big man as there is in the league, but he can't carry the scoring load alone so the pressure will be on Wiggins to take a step forward under Saunders in the second year of his max contract extension carrying a $27 million salary cap hit. Having a healthy Covington, the team's best defender who arrived in the Jimmy Butler trade from the Sixers last season but missed the last 45 games because of a bone bruise on his knee, will be a critical factor. Culver, the sixth overall pick in the draft out of NCAA runner up Texas Tech, ought to provide more of that valuable perimeter defense along with Josh Okogie off the bench. Either of them could crack the starting lineup at some point, too.
OUTLOOK: The Timberwolves have started fresh, yet again, with Saunders, the youngest coach in the league, beneath an overhauled front office headed by new president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas. With Towns and Wiggins, they have a pair of under-25 standouts locked in, and a quiet offseason relative to the rest of the NBA yielded some useful role players in Layman, Vonleh, Bell, Napier and Graham. The first steps are to establish themselves as a far more consistent and efficient team on defense and shooting from the outside. With the Western Conference even more loaded than before, though, it will be tough to measure progress in the standings. Increasing their win total will be a tall order.

PREVIEW

Timberwolves take momentum into matchup vs. Spurs

Two teams moving in different directions will square off Wednesday when the San Antonio Spurs travel to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves in the Twin Cities.

The surprise is that the Timberwolves (6-4) will carry the better record and more momentum into Wednesday's contest after winning two of their past three games, including a 120-114 victory on the road Monday over Detroit.

Andrew Wiggins scored 33 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 25 points for Minnesota in the win, which snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Pistons.

"Every good thing that happens to Andrew, Andrew deserves, because Andrew does work hard," Minnesota coach Ryan Saunders said. "He had a different mindset this summer. We had a conversation, so all the credit goes to him for buying in and really delivering for us."

After making just 6 of 45 3-point shots in a home overtime loss to Denver on Sunday, the Timberwolves were on fire from long range early on in Monday's game, hitting 8 of 10 from beyond the arc in the first quarter to take a 15-point lead that the Pistons never overcame.

Jake Layman made four 3-pointers and added 16 points for Minnesota. The Timberwolves ended up 15 of 34 from 3-point range.

"I have been getting great shots every game," Layman said. "Some games they haven't been falling, but it's all great looks all around our offense. So, I'm going to keep doing the same thing."

Minnesota played without point guard Jeff Teague (illness) and guard Shabazz Napier (right hamstring strain) in the win. Both should be available for the San Antonio game.

Not even the anticipation of the jersey number retirement of former star Tony Parker could pull the Spurs out of their doldrums on Monday, when they fell 113-109 to Memphis in a game that the Grizzlies controlled throughout.

"Well, you know, it's a 48-minute game and we're not executing or competing enough for the 48 minutes," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "A little spotty in and out. So we've got to be more consistent in our play, competitive-wise and execution-wise. You just keep going. You just keep playing. There is no magic formula."

The loss to Memphis was the second in a row at home and the fourth in five games overall for San Antonio (5-5), which struggled with consistency once again.

LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Gay led the Spurs' scoring with 19 and 18 points, respectively. Derrick White (15), Bryn Forbes (14) and DeMar DeRozan (12) rounded out San Antonio's double-figure scoring.

"We need a win," said Gay, who led San Antonio with eight rebounds. "One win. Get this taste out of our mouth. Just takes one. We have to flush these down the toilet. These are over. We can't get it back. The more we win, the more we forget."

San Antonio owns an 89-30 all-time series lead on the Timberwolves. The Spurs have won the season series against Minnesota 22 times in 30 seasons, including the last six.

The Spurs do have a piece of history at Minnesota. The now-retired Parker holds the record for most points in one game in Target Center history (55) on Nov. 5, 2008 in a double-overtime Spurs win. He also has the most field goals in the building's history with 22 in the same game.
