The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to get some payback versus the Phoenix Suns tonight as the main event for Sunday NBA basketball. The Suns claimed a 118-110 victory versus the T’Wolves just over two weeks ago and are 3-4 SU away from Talking Stick Resort Arena. Phoenix opened as 13-point road-dogs to get the W in Minnesota tonight.
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Minnesota’s last 12 games.
- Phoenix is 3-9 SU and ATS in its last 12 games.
- Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in its last five games.
The Suns youth movement has been a painful exercise for the former Western Conference powerhouse. Phoenix is 7-13 SU this season and is currently in the bottom three in the West. Highly-touted draft picks Devin Booker, Josh Jackson and Dragan Bender have not paid dividends yet for the Silicon Desert and there will be growing pains for years to come. But for today, bettors may want to consider the Suns to cover the double-digit spread as they’re 4-2 ATS in their last six road games and as mentioned, defeated ‘Sota in their last matchup.
The T’Wolves are a frustrating team for fans and backers. One night they’re handling the Spurs or Thunder with ease. The next night they drop a loss to Charlotte or Indiana. As a team touted as a potential challenger to Golden State’s crown, they have not yet looked up to snuff after 19 games. While Minnesota may get the victory tonight against Phoenix, counting on them to win by double-digits could prove difficult. ‘Sota has a 1-2 record this season when favored by 10 points or more.
