Result:
WIN

The Minnesota Timberwolves have not made the playoffs for over a decade. In each of the last 2-3 years, many thought their roster had reached the stage of getting to the postseason, but they have disappointed. They appear ready to change things this year as they are off to a 17-12 start on the season. While the offense has been good, this young team has issues with defense. They are allowing 106+ points per game, and despite being five games over .500, their scoring margin is lacking at +1. This makes things tough as a solid chalk as they are 2-6 ATS from -6 and up. Phoenix is not a good team, but the Suns can score. With a double-digit line and a likely wide-open game they should stay in touch. Take the points on Phoenix.
