Suns at Timberwolves: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 125, Timberwolves 110
Money line (ML)
The Timberwolves are still reeling. They have lost seven straight and 11 of their last 12. The Suns, meanwhile, have won four of five and 10 of 12. Minnesota played Saturday and was blown out, and the Suns played on the road Friday and picked up a win. This is almost as certain as any outcome, so take the SUNS -550.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have a better cover percentage than everyone but the Utah Jazz this season at 65.6%. Peculiarly, every straight-up result has matched the ATS result. In every win this season, the Suns have covered the spread. In every loss, they have failed to cover the spread. This is now a 32-game trend. The Wolves not only have lost their last seven games, but they have also failed to cover the spread as well. Take the SUNS -10.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
After starting the year with one of the lowest Over percentages, the Suns are now even at 16-16, as eight of their last 10 games have gone Over. Minnesota’s last three games have gone Over. The Wolves allow the third-most points per game. Take the OVER 225.5 POINTS (-110).
