Suns Betting Preview
The Suns enter this matchup at 13–10 and have dropped three of their last four, including a 117–98 loss to Houston. Offensively, Phoenix averages 116.3 points on 46.8% shooting, but tonight they’ll be without top scorer Devin Booker, secondary creator Jalen Green, and wing Isaiah Livers. Dillon Brooks is questionable, further limiting an already thin rotation.
Dillon Brooks (22.3 PPG) and Grayson Allen (double-digit scoring) become primary scoring options. Collin Gillespie adds playmaking and perimeter shooting, while the Suns enter ranked 2nd in the league in opponent turnovers forced (17.3 per game).
Phoenix has also shown the ability to cover spreads when advantaged in rest situations and has historically performed well against Minnesota in such scenarios.
Timberwolves Betting Preview
Minnesota comes in at 15–8 and winners of five straight, including a dramatic 109–106 comeback win over the Clippers. The Wolves average 120.3 points on 48.6% shooting and feature a balanced scoring attack led by Anthony Edwards (28.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG) and Julius Randle (23 PPG, 5.9 AST).
The Wolves have performed well at home (8–4) and historically matchup well with Phoenix, winning eight of the last nine meetings. Minnesota is fully healthy with no players listed on its injury report.
Jaden McDaniels enters shooting 48.6% from three, second among qualifiers, while Naz Reid continues to provide efficient bench production.

Prediction: Suns vs. Timberwolves
Minnesota is playing its best basketball of the season and is fully healthy, while Phoenix enters shorthanded and inconsistent. However, historical matchup trends, the Timberwolves’ poor ATS record, and the Suns’ ability to keep games competitive as underdogs point toward a tighter contest than the straight-up numbers suggest.
The Suns also beat Minnesota 114–113 in their last meeting and have consistently performed well in situations with rest advantages over the Wolves.
Given the matchup, injuries, and strong trend indicators, the value remains on Phoenix covering the number.
- Pick: Suns +9.5
- Pick: Over 224.5
