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, so they will 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 that they have won the 2 meetings so far this season — albeit 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 while knocking down 3 triples. That’s 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 2 f0llowing the 2 close finishes already this season. If that’s the case, I would side with Phoenix. The Suns have more wins in clutch games this season — plus without a closer like Ant Man (out with right knee soreness), the T-Wolves could struggle scoring if it comes down to the final possession. Let’s roll with Phoenix.

Suns vs Timberwolves prediction: Phoenix +4.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

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.
