The Minnesota Timberwolves put their perfect home playoff record on the line Friday night when they host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals at Target Center. The series sits knotted at one game apiece after the Spurs evened things with a 133-95 blowout in Game 2 following Minnesota's 104-102 upset in the opener. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET in Minneapolis.

The Timberwolves dominated at home against Denver in the first round, winning all three contests by double figures despite Anthony Edwards missing the closeout game. San Antonio finished the regular season with the league's second-best road record at 29-12, and they're favored by 4.5 points with the total set at 216.5. The SportsLine model actually sees value on Minnesota's moneyline at +170, projecting them to win outright about 44% of the time.

Elsewhere, the Anaheim Ducks host the Vegas Golden Knights in an NHL playoff elimination game with the series tied 1-1, while the Atlanta Braves (26-12) travel to face the Los Angeles Dodgers (23-14) in a late MLB contest featuring Chris Sale against Emmet Sheehan.
