The Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns have thrilled fans with an entertaining season series. The Timberwolves find themselves sixth in the West, winning four in a row and going 5-5 over their last ten games. While the Suns are comfortably fourth in the Western Conference, they've lost six of their last ten games despite winning back-to-back games.
The Timberwolves are a capable scoring team with their combination of talents, averaging 115.9 points per game (11th in the NBA) on 49.1% efficiency from the field (3rd in the NBA). Minnesota was locked-in in their 119-116 victory over the Kings in their last game, scoring on 51.2% shooting from the field while having seven double-digit scorers!
The Phoenix Suns live by their defensive standards, holding teams to 111.9 points per game (5th in the NBA) on 46.7% from the field (6th in the NBA) while forcing 14.6 turnovers per game (12th in the NBA). The Suns were locked in in their recent win over the Utah Jazz, holding the high-scoring unit to just 103 points on 44.2% from the field.
We're taking the Suns in this matchup to cover the spread. While the Timberwolves have been in fine form, a newly healthy Suns side threatens their momentum. With the potential of a Kevin Durant return, expect an emboldened Suns team. Count on it being a high-scoring matchup, but the Suns' defense should be the difference-maker in this game.
The Phoenix Suns have been led by Devin Booker all season, and he's coming off of another solid performance despite his below-average shooting. In the Suns' 117-103 win over the Jazz, Booker posted 24 points, seven rebounds, and five assists on 36.8% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range. Averaging 25.0 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.5 assists in two games against the Timberwolves, Booker is sure to have another high-scoring performance.
Despite his relatively subdued numbers, Edwards' form has been promising in his two games back from injury. Edwards has posted averages of 15.0 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.5 rebounds on 37.9% from the field and 27.3%. The Suns present a tough challenge for the Timberwolves, so Edwards must produce at his pre-injury levels if Minnesota hopes to win.
