Phoenix at Minnesota

Minnesota will try to slow down the Suns, who have won eight in a row, but they are just a small favorite in this game because most of those wins have come against below .500 teams, including 115-89 versus Houston on Saturday when the Rockets shot only 41.2 percent. The Timberwolves had a huge victory at the Lakers 107-83 and then lost the next night to the Clippers. The Timberwolves would have split a tough four-game trip if not for an overtime loss at Memphis. Phoenix will be playing without Deandre Ayton, who is out with a leg injury and the Suns are 2-6-1 ATS their past nine games playing on no rest. Take the points with the Timberwolves.
