Timberwolves vs Suns NBA Preview
I make the spread for this matchup a pick‘em.
The Suns have been phenomenal against the spread this season.
Phoenix is 7-1 ATS at home.
In NBA Cup games, home underdogs that are above .500 are a stunning 10-5 ATS (67%).
The market is still influenced by preseason priors that believed the Suns were a sub-35-win team, and they’ve been way better than that so far this season.
The Timberwolves' biggest weakness is turnovers, and the Suns rank 7th in opponent turnover rate.
Timberwolves vs Suns Prediction, Betting Analysis
The Wolves are the 2nd-best road offense in the league, but the Suns are the 4th-best home defense.
The Suns have the wing defenders to throw at Anthony Edwards.
Phoenix doesn't have good matchups for Julius Randle, who should eat in isolation, but the Suns do have centers to battle with Gobert and Naz Reid.
Let's take the points with Phoenix tonight.
