Trouble for Minnesota Timberwolves

This will be the second time this season that the Timberwolves and Suns met. When they last met, the Suns won 118-99 back on February 28th. In that matchup, the Timberwolves were led by Anthony Edwards with 24 points.

In their last 10 games, the Timberwolves have gone two and eight. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of a Lakers team with Lebron James receiving his 99th career triple double, the final score was 137-121. Against the Lakers, the Timberwolves struggled defensively and had no answer to the problem that is Lebron James. Even with new head coach, Chris Finch, who has attempted to revamp the defensive philosophy in Minnesota, the results have yet to become apparent. The Timberwolves have given up more than 130 points in four of their last nine with Chris Finch at the helm.

Leading the Timberwolves in scoring is center Karl-Anthony Towns, who is averaging 22.2 points per game with 10.3 rebounds and four assists. In the Timberwolves most recent loss to the Lakers, Towns put up 29 points, shooting 52% from the field and 25% from three point range. Following Towns is shooting guard Malik Beasley, who is averaging 20.5 points per game, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Dominant Suns Look Again to Torment Minnesota

The Suns come into this matchup in second place in the Western Conference and only 2.5 games behind the Utah Jazz, with a 26-12 record for the season this far. Winning five of their last six, the Suns will be looking to stay hot after defeating the Grizzlies 122-99 at home on Monday night. Devin Booker led the Suns against the Grizzlies with 27 points and five assists. Chris Paul put up 18 points with seven assists and four steals. As a team, the Suns shot 56% from the field.

On the season, the Suns are led by shooting guard Devin Booker who is averaging 25.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Following Devin Booker is point guard Chris Paul who is averaging 15.9 points with four rebounds and eight assists.

When these two met the last time, Devin Booker led the Suns in scoring against the Timberwolves with 43 points. Following Booker was center Deandre Ayton who put up 22 points with 10 rebounds and one assist.

Betting Trends to Consider

In their last six away games, the Timberwolves have an ATS record of 1-5 and are 3-8 ATS in their past 11 games against teams with a winning record and 3-10 ATS in their past 13 games overall.

The Suns have an ATS record of 19-7 in their last 26 home games and 5-2 ATS against teams with losing records.

The Timberwolves have come to life a bit with two wins in their last four games, but with their blowout loss against the Lakers, we suspect their confidence might be shaken a bit. The Suns however will be coming into this matchup with a lot of momentum behind them with a superb record for the season so far. Overall, the Suns are the better team by a large margin and are 11-point favorites in this game. We expect the Suns to take the win here and for the game to hit the over of 231½ points with the Suns covering the spread.
