Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors faced off Tuesday night in an intense game in which three players were ejected. The Wolves eventually won 104-101 due to a strong performance from Karl-Anthony Towns, who had 33 points, to extend their winning streak to 7. Minnesota is currently 8-2 on the season and have the #1 defense in points against, field goal percentage, and 3-point field goal percentage. Offensively, the Timberwolves have scored an average of 112.78 points per game, and their 9.0-point differential is first among all Western Conference teams. Key injuries include point guard Jordan McLaughlin.

Phoenix Suns Analysis

21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Past results do not predict future outcomes.

The Phoenix Suns built their roster in the offseason to be contenders in the Western Conference, but have had to navigate early in the season without key players due to injury. Recently, Sun's stars Brad Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker have been on the court together, but most of the beginning of the season Booker has been out with Gordon out as well. Despite the injuries, the Suns are still two games under .500 and on Wednesday will have the full strength of the roster when both Booker and Gordon return. With a team of all-star scorers, the Suns should see improved offensively and defensively from improved shooting and Minnesota's outstanding perimeter defense posing a test.

Phoenix Suns Predicted to Have the Advantage Over Tired Minnesota Timberwolves

With the return of Devin Booker to the starting lineup and Aaron Gordon off the bench, the Phoenix Suns should have the advantage against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota is at a disadvantage playing the second game of a back-to-back and coming off a highly emotional game with the Warriors, allowing the Suns to spread the floor. This game could also be an opportunity for Kyrie Durant to take a rest with his all-star teammate back, and for Bradley Beal to further develop after missing the entire season prior to last week. Despite Minnesota’s recent success, the emotional fatigue may be too much for them to handle, suggesting the Suns have the edge.
