Minnesota at Phoenix

Two playoff hopefuls will clash tonight in Phoenix, as the Suns host the Timberwolves. Minnesota is 10-5 and has shot the ball very well, but the defense needs some work. The Suns are 9-6. This game may come down to shooting threes, since both teams like to shoot them. Phoenix has been better at defending the 3, allowing just 34% and that may be the difference. Both teams may be missing a key player: Jayden McDaniels for Minnesota and Grayson Allen for the Suns. Minnesota is 8-2 in its last 10 games, but is just 6-9 ATS in its 15 games on the season. The Suns have won and covered 6 of their last 7, and all six wins have been by nine or more points. I like Phoenix on the moneyline.
