The Spurs are back on the floor tonight at Frost Bank Center to open their second-round series against the Timberwolves, riding plenty of momentum after a strong first-round showing. San Antonio handled the Trail Blazers in 5 games, closing things out with a convincing 114-95 win at home. Victor Wembanyama looked every bit like the generational star he’s billed to be, while Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, and Dylan Harper all stepped up with big performances throughout the series. Now, with a trip to the Western Conference Finals on the line, the stakes only get higher.
Minnesota arrives after a hard-fought 6-game series win over Denver, but not without taking some major hits along the way. Donte DiVincenzo is out for the remainder of the playoffs with a torn Achilles, and superstar guard Anthony Edwards is dealing with a hyperextended knee and bone bruise, leaving his status for tonight very much in doubt. Even so, the Timberwolves have found contributions from unexpected places, including some massive games from Ayo Dosunmu earlier in the series, though he missed Game 6 himself with calf soreness. Still, a healthy Spurs team at home enters as a 13.5-point favorite tonight, and with the crowd behind them, San Antonio has a prime opportunity to set the tone early in this series.
Tonight’s Spurs vs Timberwolves game tips off at 8:30 p.m. CDT, and fans across the country can tune in with Peacock.
Tonight’s Spurs vs Timberwolves game airs across the country on NBC and Peacock, making it really easy to tune in without cable. We typically recommend streaming services with live TV since they offer more value than one-off platforms, but for tonight’s game, the easiest way to tune in is to sign up for Peacock. There are plenty of playoff games left airing on Peacock to make its $10.99/month Premium plan worth it.
That said, you still certainly can sign up for a streaming service with live TV, but the game being broadcast on NBC Sports Network limits your options a bit. Our top streaming service is always Sling TV, with the Sling Blue package carrying NBC Sports Network in very limited regions, not including the local San Antonio area. Even some locales that include NBC don’t have NBC Sports Network specifically, so it can be tough to tune in tonight with Sling unless you live outside the local area and get lucky with the platform’s offerings.
Other than that, you can also sign up for any of the three major streaming services below to catch the game, as they all carry NBC and its affiliate networks. These platforms should also be solid options for watching Spurs games moving forward, so certainly not a bad choice if you don’t want to sign up for Peacock. Notably, fuboTV is missing from this list because it no longer carries NBC’s affiliate networks.
