Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns Prediction
The T-Wolves have beaten teams like Houston and Oklahoma City over the span of their recent ten games. Nevertheless, the public seems to overvalue Phoenix’s dominance of Toronto this year while forgetting this is a Minnesota team that has defeated the Suns in the last three games themselves. Minnesota plays better defense than Phoenix and they commit less turnovers. Furthermore, the T-Wolves are more efficient and intelligent with the basketball as they make smarter shots, reflected in their advantage in field goal percentage. Needless to say, Phoenix may have their work cut out for them here as they are spotting points to a team that knows how to beat them. This is uncharted waters even more so for Phoenix as they get the rare chance to spot points and play the favorite. Normally, no one likes to give them a chance at winning. The Suns are prone for a huge let-down by virtue of an overreaction to their most recent result. This is the perfect time to go the other way and take Minnesota outright, reducing the juice.

Take Minnesota -105
