Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

This is another line that makes no sense. The Suns favored against a legit playoff team? In what world? The Timberwolves have won six straight games against the Suns, which includes an eight-point win on the road a little more than a month ago. The Suns are the most disappointing team in the NBA and they’re a ridiculously bad 21-38-1 ATS on the season. The Timberwolves will have a rested Edwards after he faced his suspension and there’s a chance Randle finally returns from injury. How are the Suns favored? Because they beat the Pelicans? Get real. I’m rolling with the Timberwolves, and I’ll grab the ML in a game they should win outright.
