• The Timberwolves have won each of their last five games against Pacific Division opponents that held a winning record.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

I considered the Phoenix Suns and the points because they should be a motivated side after the Timberwolves sent them home in the playoffs. However, the Suns will be without Beal and Durant for this one. For a Suns team that’s top-heavy, being down two of their top three players isn’t ideal. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been shaky over the last week, but we know what they’re capable of and the winner has covered each of the last 10 Games between Minnesota and the Suns. Given the Suns injures, give me the Timberwolves and the chalk.
