Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

I've bashed the Phoenix Suns all season, and they're still the worst cover team in the league, with a cover percentage of 36.3 percent. However, the Suns have won three straight games and eight of their last 10 games overall. This is the best the Suns have looked all year, even if a lot of the wins have come against non-playoff caliber teams. The Suns have seen 15 of their 24 wins come at home. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been hit or miss, and they're still dealing with a handful of injuries. The Suns have also lost five straight games against the Timberwolves, which does kind of set up a revenge spot. Of course, a lot will come down to if Durant plays despite a thumb issue. Check the injury report before betting. I still lean Suns at home on Wednesday.
