Suns vs Timberwolves prediction
Massive game as the Suns are playing to get out of the play-in tournament while the Timberwolves are playing for the top seed in the west. The Timberwolves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, where they're 30-10 SU. It doesn't hurt that Towns is back for the Timberwolves. With that said, the Suns have won the last 3 games against the Timberwolves, which includes a 10 point win a week ago. The Suns have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Timberwolves overall. I'll take my chances with the Suns and the free bucket.
