Suns vs Timberwolves Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
PHX Suns +4.5(-110)

The Suns made a valiant effort last night in Boston, but unfortunately they just ran into a better team and succumbed to an 8-point defeat. They were within striking distance for most of the game, thanks to a 40-point night from Devin Booker. Not having their starting center Mark Williams once again cost them the rebounding battle, they’ll have to figure out a way to compensate for his absence on Tuesday against Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves. The good news for the Suns is the fact that they’ve won the two meetings so far this season, by just 1 and 3 points. Phoenix is only 5-7 SU in 12 games with no rest this season.

This past week or so of basketball has not been kind to the Timberwolves who have just 1 win to show for over their last 5 outings. The defense has been suspect during this stretch, the 153 points they allowed to the Clippers a couple of games ago wasn’t a good look at all. Sunday saw them squander a double-digit lead against the defending champs, ultimately falling by 13 on the road. If there is a silver lining they can take from that game it’s the fact that Julius Randle scored 32 points, knocking down 3 threes. Very encouraging for a player who has shot the deep ball just 20% over his last 10 outings, averaging 15.2 points per game.

I’m expecting yet another tight game between these two, after two close finishes already this season. If that’s the case then I’d side with Phoenix. They have more wins in clutch games this season, plus without a closer like Ant Man the T’Wolves could struggle scoring if it comes down to the final possession. Take Phoenix.

Hopefully we can make some money together! Oh, and I firmly believe Lebron James is not one of the two best basketball players of all time. Yeah, I said it.
