Our best Timberwolves vs Spurs SGP for Game 5
SGP leg #1: Spurs Moneyline
The San Antonio Spurs couldn't recover from Victor Wembanyama’s first-half ejection in Game 4 but did put up one hell of a fight. That’s something positive to take back to Texas. With Wemby in the paint, this defense gets back to pushing the Minnesota Timberwolves to the perimeter and dropping their effective field goal rate. The Spurs are 18-5 SU off a loss this season as well as 12-3 SU as double-digit home chalk.
SGP leg #2: Victor Wembanyama Over 12.5 rebounds
Wembanyama grabbed 15 rebounds in each of the first three games of this series and was on track for another repeat of that rebounding performance before getting ejected for an ill-intentioned elbow in Game 4. Prior to that, he posted 13 or more boards in a dozen of his past 15 outings overall, and with the T-Wolves struggling to get quality shots, his rebounding chances are soaring closer to 22.0 per game.
SGP leg #3: Ayo Dosunmu Over 1.5 threes
After Wemby got tossed in Game 4, the Timberwolves abandoned the outside shot at went at the rim. However, with the Spurs’ 7-footer in, Minnesota had taken 70 total triples the previous two games. Ayo Dosunmu was just 1 for 4 from distance in Game 4 after shooting 3 for 8 from outside in Game 3. With Wembanyama back in action, the T-Wolves get pushed to the perimeter, and Dosunmu is projected for at least two triples.

Timberwolves vs Spurs Prediction, Picks & Odds for NBA Playoffs Game 5
Want to get more Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account here.
Victor Wembanyama will be in action for Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, despite giving Naz Reid a tracheotomy with his razor-sharp elbows.
The San Antonio Spurs star center avoided a suspension after being ejected in the first half of Game 4 for throwing a nasty elbow that would even make Ludacris blush.
With Wemby in the mix, San Antonio is double-digit home chalk, and my Timberwolves vs. Spurs predictions go back to the well when it comes to Wemby and rebounds.
Find out more in my NBA picks for Tuesday, May 12.
Timberwolves vs Spurs Game 5 prediction
Timberwolves vs Spurs best bet: Victor Wembanyama Over 12.5 rebounds (-125)
Before getting the boot in Game 4, Victor Wembanyama had four boards on 9.0 potential rebounds in just 12 minutes. That opening effort put him on pace for another 15+ rebounding performance.
In the three games prior, Wembanyama snatched up 15 rebounds in each outing on almost 22 rebounding chances per game. Wemby has plucked at least 13 boards in a dozen of his previous 15 games prior to the Game 4 ejection.
With the series swinging back to San Antonio, Minnesota’s shooting could take a dip. That means more rebounding chances for Wembanyama, who is projected for as many as 15+ boards again.
COVERS INTEL: Minnesota is dead last in effective field goal rate among the remaining eight postseason teams (47.8 EFG%). That’s generated 86.0 rebounding chances per game in the conference semifinals — tied for second most in Round 2.
Timberwolves vs Spurs bonus bet: Ayo Dosunmu Over 1.5 threes (+110)
The Minnesota Timberwolves shot nine of their 27 total 3-point attempts in the first quarter of Game 4. But when Wembanyama got bounced, the T-Wolves bailed on the outside shooting and attacked the unprotected rim.
Minnesota had shot 30 and 40 3PAs in the two games prior, so with Wembanyama clear of a suspension, expect the T-Wolves to get pushed back out to the perimeter in Game 5.
Guard Ayo Dosunmu went 1 for 4 from 3-point range in Game 4, which was a stark decline from his 3-for-8 effort from outside in Game 3. He missed Game 1 due to injury and was limited to only 10 minutes in Game 2, shooting 0 for 1 from distance.
In Round 1, Dosunmu averaged 2.4 triples on 4.4 3PAs and knocked down 1.8 makes from long range at a 44% clip during the regular season. His 3-point prop for Game 5 is offering great value on the Over 1.5, considering game script and projections at 1.8 3PMs.
Timberwolves vs Spurs Game 5 same-game parlay
San Antonio showed a lot of fight after Wembanyama got tossed in Game 4. The San Antonio Spurs were able to go small and got excellent efforts from De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper. That gives this team something to take back to San Antonio, where its 7-footer will patrol the paint and push Minnesota to the outside. The Timberwolves haven’t been great from beyond the arc in the series, shooting just 35% from deep. Those misses turn into long rebounds, which feed the San Antonio transition offense.
Timberwolves vs Spurs SGP
- Spurs Moneyline
- Victor Wembanyama Over 12.5 rebounds
- Ayo Dosunmu Over 1.5 threes
Timberwolves vs Spurs odds for Game 5

Sabres vs Canadiens Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tuesday's NHL Playoffs Game 4
Want to get more Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account here.
The Montreal Canadiens will look to make it three straight wins to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Buffalo Sabres with the two teams hitting the ice at the Bell Centre on Tuesday, May 12.
My top Sabres vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks are calling for a huge push from Buffalo to be answered by Montreal goaltender Jakub Dobes continuing to stand tall in Game 4.
Sabres vs Canadiens Game 4 prediction
Sabres vs Canadiens best bet: Jakub Dobes Over 25.5 saves (-110)
The Montreal Canadiens have received elite goaltending from Jakub Dobes with a .947 save percentage and 3.94 goals saved above expected the past two games, and he sports a .918 SV% with 0.591 GSAx per 60 minutes for the postseason.
While the Buffalo Sabres have won the possession battle with a 51.7 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five for the series, they’ve only converted 43.5% of their overall attempts in shots.
Buffalo converted at a 49.2% rate during the regular season and 46.6% mark in Round 1. So with an added emphasis on funneling pucks to the net, in addition to a slight statistical correction in converting attempts into shots, Dobes is set to be busy again in Game 4.
Sabres vs Canadiens Game 4 same-game parlay
Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov collected an assist in Games 1 and 3, and he’s been on the ice for five goals and 4.37 expected goals through three games. He’s a key puck distributor on the No. 1 power-play unit and has averaged 5:04 per night with the man advantage this postseason.
Additionally, while Demidov has been held to just three shots during Round 2, he’s registered 14 attempts (21.4%). I’m anticipating him converting attempts to shots at a higher rate in Game 4 after hitting the net 17 times on 43 attempts in Round 1 (39.5%) and at a 45.0% rate during the regular season.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Lane Hutson has recorded two or more shots in six of 10 postseason games while quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit and pacing the Habs in offensive zone starts at 5-on-5.
Sabres vs Canadiens SGP
- Ivan Demidov Over 0.5 assists
- Ivan Demidov Over 1.5 shots
- Lane Hutson Over 1.5 shots
Sabres vs Canadiens odds for Game 4
- Moneyline: Sabres +110 | Canadiens -130
- Puck Line: Sabres +1.5 (-220) | Canadiens -1.5 (+180)
- Over/Under: Over 6.5 (+120) | Under 6.5 (-135)

De'Aaron Fox questionable for Spurs' Game 5 with ankle soreness
The San Antonio Spurs got good news when the league cleared Victor Webanyama to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. Now, they’re dealing with a fresh new concern.
De’Aaron Fox has been listed as questionable for Game 5 on May 12 against the Minnesota Timberwolves with left ankle soreness. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center with the series knotted at 2-2.
The left ankle soreness is a new concern for Fox, who hasn’t missed a game since March 25. He played 37 minutes in Game 4 on Sunday, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals in the Spurs’ 114-109 loss. He only shot 8-for-23 and 1-for-7 from 3-point range.
Fox’s role, the player who can get into the paint and create when Wembanyama draws extra defensive attention, has been critical to San Antonio’s success this postseason. Over four second-round games, he has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals. In the first round against Portland, he put up 21 points and nine assists in the clincher, then went for 28 in Game 4 to help set up the close.
He has helped keep the Spurs offense moving when Wembanyama is being schemed against and San Antonio relies on him.
With the series tied and home court back on their side, the Spurs have a chance to reclaim control in Game 5. Doing it without Fox would put enormous pressure on Wembanyama and a supporting cast that has been inconsistent.
If Fox cannot play, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson would likely see increased playing time. Harper posted 24 points on 72.7% shooting in Game 4 and has emerged as a reliable secondary creator. Johnson finished with just four points in 17 minutes.
San Antonio enters Game5 has heavy favorites. The series winner advances to the Western Conference Finals to face the winner of the Oklahoma City Thunder–Los Angeles Lakers series.

Linus Ullmark Thanks Senators Fans On Social Media
It's been a trying season for Senators goalie Linus Ullmark.
First, from a performance perspective, his season got off to a sluggish start, and that's putting it mildly. Then, shortly after Christmas, after feelings of panic set in during a game in Toronto, Ullmark sought help for his mental health from the NHL player assistance program.
While he was away from the team, he also had to shoot down some ugly social media rumours. But things got better after the Olympics, and Ullmark finished the season strongly.
Ironically, after the goaltending position took so much of the blame during the regular season, it was Ullmark who was Ottawa's best player in the playoffs.
After all he'd been through this year, Ullmark was thrilled he was able to be at his best at the most important time of the year.
"That was very nice," Ullmark said his final media availability. "You know, it was the first real time in this whole season where I felt like myself again, and I could do what I thoroughly enjoy to do. It didn't feel like a chore. It didn't feel exhausting. It felt motivational and inspirational.
"And truth be told, it felt weird as well because you've been battling so hard the whole season, trying to find a groove and trying to find a way of performing. And now you do it at the top of your game, and you're still losing. So it was a little bit of a surreal feeling."
Before heading into his offseason, Ullmark also recorded a special message to the fans who supported him through it all this season, the good and the bad. He published it on his Instagram on Monday morning. It featured a montage of big highlight reel saves and fans going wild.
However, the highlights were oddly paired with a rock song called The Enforcer by the Canadian band, Monster Truck. The song is a tribute to NHL enforcers, but more importantly, it was the Toronto Maple Leafs' goal song for two years.
That didn't take away from Ullmark's message to his supporters, though. In a season where he was hit with some nasty social media dialogue, he injected some positivity on Monday.
Dear Ottawa fans,
Thank you so much, merci beaucoup, for all of your support this season. It's been a blessing.
You know, you guys are what drives us to do our best every single day. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the whole wide world playing hockey.
Our fans cheering, screaming at home games in our barn, that's what matters.
We play for each other, but we also play for the city of Ottawa, and for everyone that aspires to be Ottawa Senators in the future.
I love all of you guys. I love the support and the fire and the passion that you guys bring to our rink every night.
I hope you keep doing that. I hope that we can do you guys right and win it all in the near future.
Thank you.
As much as he appreciates the fans' support, Ullmark would probably appreciate a little more goaltending support as well. By his own admission, GM Steve Staios said last month that he didn't feel like he did a good enough job providing backup support behind Ullmark.
It will be interesting to see if the Senators go out and acquire a name-brand goalie to provide that support for Ullmark, who, despite his big contract, seems to be at his best with a medium workload.

NHL playoff bracket, scores, schedule: Wild take on Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche appear ready to change their starting goalie for Game 4 of their series against the Minnesota Wild.
Mackenzie Blackwood was in the starters net at practice on Monday, May 11, hours before game time. But Avalanche coach Jared Bednar wasn't ready to announce his starting goalie.
Blackwood replaced Scott Wedgewood in Game 3 after giving up Minnesota's third goal early in the second period. He stopped 12 of 13 shots in his first appearance in the 2026 playoffs.
"Like I said at the start of the playoffs, we're probably going to need both guys," Bednar said Monday. "That's how we ran all year. We have confidence in both guys. Mackenzie's ready to play. He wants the net."
The Avalanche lead the second-round series 2-1 after the Wild beat the Avalanche in Game 3.

Coach leaves with Blues 1-8 and effectively out of finals contention
Last game in charge came in weekend’s defeat to Brisbane
Michael Voss has quit as Carlton coach following the Blues’ disastrous start to the AFL season. Out-of-contract at season’s end, Voss has decided to move on with the Blues 1-8 and effectively already out of finals contention.
It means his last game in charge was against his former club the Brisbane Lions, with Carlton fighting hard in the second half for a respectable 11-point loss against the dual reigning premiers last Friday night.
Continue reading...New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles: Ryan Weathers vs. Brandon Young
It was an ugly weekend in Milwaukee for the Yankees, as they suffered their second series sweep of the season at the hands of a stout Brewers team that overwhelmed them with some sensational pitching and out-executed them late in games. Let’s chalk it up to revenge from Torpedo-gate.
A new series begins today in Baltimore, as the Yankees look to keep beating on the subpar teams that populate the American League, as they did to the Orioles in a historic four-game sweep last week in the Bronx.
Ryan Weathers makes his return to the mound for the Yankees after being scratched from his last start against the Texas Rangers due to an illness. In his first seven starts as a Yankee, he’s 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA (140 ERA+) and 3.58 FIP with 45 strikeouts in 38.2 innings. Weathers will get another crack at an Orioles lineup that he dominated for five innings in his last start before unraveling with a five-run lead in the sixth (although two runs were unearned due to an error). He’s already thrown more innings than he did last year!
The merry-go-round of the Orioles’ rotation continues with Brandon Young making his fifth start of the season tonight at Camden Yards. He’s improved considerably from his disastrous 12 starts in 2025, pitching to a 4.35 ERA and 4.81 FIP in 20.2 innings with just 14 strikeouts to eight walks. Three of his four starts have been perfectly adequate for the O’s, but he does have a late April blowup against the Astros on his ledger.
Young’s peripherals are mostly below average, particularly his strikeout and whiff rates. He does a good job getting hitters to chase and is solid at limiting barrels, but he gives up too much hard contact for him to be an effective starter. Against lefties, the 27-year-old is a pretty even two-pitch pitcher with fastballs and splitters, but he mixes in considerably more sliders and sinkers against righties with the occasional curveball. The splitter has gotten absolutely hammered in the early going, which doesn’t serve him well against a lefty-heavy lineup.
Trent Grisham leads off for the Yankees in front of Ben Rice, Aaron Judge, and Cody Bellinger. Ryan McMahon has been swinging a hot bat lately and slides up to sixth, as Spencer Jones DHs and bats seventh. Max Schuemann is in for José Caballero, who suffered a finger injury and is due to be evaluated tomorrow.
Taylor Ward leads off for Baltimore, followed by the slumping Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and the warming Pete Alonso. They’d love to get Tyler O’Neill going in the five-hole, while continuing to get production from Samuel Basallo and Leody Taveras behind him. Weston Wilson and Blaze Alexander round out the lineup.

Judge allows blood alcohol evidence in trial over Gaudreau brothers' deaths
Sean Higgins is one step closer to facing trial in the deaths of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.
A New Jersey judge denied a motion Monday that would have sent key evidence back to a grand jury, ruling that blood-alcohol evidence against Higgins can be presented to a jury at trial.
The case will continue as scheduled.
Higgins’ attorney had argued that his blood-alcohol level at the time of the August 2024 crash was improperly collected and actually below the legal limit. Defense lawyers said plasma rather than whole blood was tested, putting his actual blood alcohol level was 0.075. That would be below New Jersey’s legal limit of 0.08. Prosecutors put the figure at 0.87.
A trooper at the scene noted Higgins' breath smelled like alcohol, and the driver admitted to drinking five or six beers before the crash. He also failed a field sobriety test.
It is the latest in a string of pretrial defeats for the defense. New Jersey Superior Court Judge Michael Silvano has already denied motions to suppress evidence from Higgins’ vehicle, ruled his statements to police we lawfully obtained and rejected the arguments that the Gaudreau brothers' own drinking contributed to their deaths. An appellate judge also denied a motion to appeal the Miranda ruling in January.
Higgins, who was employed at a nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment center at the time of the crash, rejected a plea that would have resulted in a 35-year prison sentence. He faces up to 70 years if convicted on all counts, which include two counts each of reckless vehicular homicide and aggravated manslaughter, along with evidence tampering and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were riding their bikes in Oldmans Township, New Jersey on the evening of Aug. 29, 2024. It was the eve of their sister’s wedding when Higgins struck them while attempting to pass slower-moving vehicles. Both died at the scene.
Johnny Gaudreau, 31, known as “Johnny Hockey,” made seven NHL All-Star teams during his career with the Calgary Flames and Columbus Blue Jackets. Matthew Gaudreau, 29, played hockey at Boston College and was working as a high school hockey coach. Both left behind wives and children. The Gaudreau family attended Team USA’s gold medal hockey game at the Milan Olympics in February to honor the brothers.

BALTIMORE - New York Yankees shortstop José Caballero will be sent back to New York for tests on his right middle finger after he injured it diving back into a base, manager Aaron Boone said Monday, May 11.
Caballero, who seized the starting shortstop job from Anthony Volpe with his early season play this year, hurt his finger diving into first base on a pickoff attempt in the ninth inning of the Yankees' loss at Milwaukee Sunday. He will need an MRI to determine the extent of the damage, but said he doesn't believe the finger was broken.
"There’s definitely some concern. He’s as tough as they come," says Boone. "So, just had a little hard time when he went to throw today. His hitting was good.
"He’s going to get some tests tomorrow morning. We’ll see what we have the next day or two."
Boone said Caballero will be examined by a hand specialist along with club physician Christopher Ahmad. Max Schuemann will start in place of Caballero Monday and likely Tuesday, Boone said, though he did not rule out third baseman Ryan McMahon making his second start of the season in this series.
Caballero's 1.6 WAR trails only outfielders Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger among Yankee position players. He has a league-average 100 adjusted OPS, batting .259 with four homers and 13 stolen bases in 17 attempts.
While the Yankees do not know if Caballero's injury will require a stint on the injured list, that scenario would generate intrigue about how the club would fill the roster spot. Volpe lost his three-year grip on the starting job when he was optioned to Class AAA after his rehabilitation from offseason shoulder surgery was complete.
Volpe is batting .205 with a .238 OBP through his first nine games at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
"I haven’t talked to Anthony since he went down, since we made that decision," says Boone. "It’s definitely challenging to deal with that. Everyone has challenges they gotta deal with, some adversity they gotta deal with. Whether it’s up here, it’s part of it.
"Anthony’s mentally a very tough kid. That will serve him well as he navigates this."
The club could also promote veteran utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera, who has filled the utility role in past seasons in New York. That would enable Volpe to play every day at Class AAA.
Either way, the club must, at least in this series, navigate life without one of their surprise stars.
"He’s been great. He’s been such a good performer for us this year on both sides of the ball," says Boone. "He’s been a key part of our team to this point. Hopefully it’s a day-to-day situation."
