Given Wembanyama's recent form and overall impact on games, it's clear that he will be central to the Spurs' strategy against the Timberwolves. His ability to alter shots defensively and stretch the floor offensively gives San Antonio a multifaceted weapon that could prove challenging for Minnesota to counter.
