Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves are coming off probably their best week of the season, while the Suns are missing a lot of key rotation players. It has potential to get dark if Brooks is out as well, as there’s just not a lot of options left. However, the Suns beat the Timberwolves a few weeks ago and the underdog has covered 5 of the last 7 meetings. Also, as I’ve mentioned in previous articles, the Timberwolves play with their food a lot, and it’s led to an 8-15 ATS record. The Timberwolves are a bottom-five cover team in the NBA. Also, the Timberwolves have failed to cover their last 4 games as a double-digit favorite. One of those was an outright loss. I’ll take a shot with the points.
