Suns vs. Timberwolves Predictions For NBA On NBATV, 3/28
As we come down the home stretch of the NBA regular season, this is set to be one of the most meaningful games remaining. That’s because both Phoenix and Minnesota find themselves in the mix for the Play-In Tournament, which is what makes locking in Suns vs. Timberwolves predictions all the more interesting.
With there not being many games left, this is also the fourth and final meeting between these teams. It’s been Minnesota that has dominated the season series, winning all three of the previous matchups. However, going 4-0 against any team is difficult to do, especially with a team as inconsistent as Minnesota.
Therefore, the best bet from our Suns vs. Timberwolves predictions is going to focus on a player prop angle.
Phoenix Suns: Streak Snapped
Speaking of being inconsistent, the same can be said about the Suns this season. That shouldn’t come as a surprise given a team that sits in 10th place in their conference, but it is when considering that they are led by stars like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. They had them on a four-game win streak recently, but that was snapped on Wednesday night.
It was snapped in a big way as well, as the Suns were absolutely torched by a whopping 30 points. While it came against the defending champion Boston Celtics, it was also a Jayson Tatum-less Celtics team. Regardless, they now have to head up to Minnesota to try and get into the postseason in any capacity.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Regaining Their Edge
While the Suns are striving for any type of playoff berth, the Timberwolves still have their goals set on a top-six seed to avoid the Play-In Tournament. However, they too are coming off a loss to the Pacers, which made it three losses in four games. It also made it so that head coach Chris Finch felt the need to call out his team.
He said that Anthony Edwards and company needed to “get their edge back,” and that he was going to use the extra rest this week to get them into the right mentality. With multiple practices between games, Finch said that Minnesota will be focused on defense, which is something that already ranked sixth in this season in terms of overall defensive rating.
Suns vs. Timberwolves Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines
Despite Minnesota having won all three of the previous games against Phoenix this season, the Suns vs. Timberwolves odds at FanDuel Sportsbook have us set for tight one tonight
- Point Spread: Phoenix Suns +7 (-112) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves -7 (-108)
- Money Line: Phoenix Suns (+220) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (-270)
- Game Total (Over/Under): Over 225 (-110) vs. Under 225 (-110)
Suns vs. Timberwolves Best Bet: Julius Randle Over 24.5 Points+Rebounds (-122 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
It’s worth noting that along with Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves being 3-0 straight up against Kevin Durant and the Suns this season, Minnesota also went 2-1 against the spread and the games were 2-1 for the over. With no massive trend to support, that’s even more reason we like focusing our Suns vs. Timberwolves predictions elsewhere.
As mentioned before, we’re going with a player prop. Given the names we just noted, there is no shortage of options, but we’re going with one that hasn’t been stated yet - Julius Randle. After departing the New York Knicks, he’s helped Minnesota become that stout defense we referenced earlier, and we’re going with a combination prop.
Not only does he help the defense by pulling down boards, but he’s also more than capable of lighting up the scoreboard. That was perfectly on display when these teams first met this season, which was also in Minnesota, where he put up 35 points. He then followed that up with 28 points and seven rebounds in the next game against the Suns.
So, this is the perfect spot for him to bounce back from a poor game on Monday night, especially after his head coach’s comments. All that is a recipe for the best bet from our Suns vs. Timberwolves predictions being on Julius Randle over 24.5 points+rebounds (-122 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
