Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 118, Suns 105
Moneyline
It’s not going to look good on F Kevin Durant‘s resume, but the Suns are getting swept. Even the books have aligned with that thought.
It makes more sense to take the miniscule spread at even-money, though.
PASS.
Against the spread
Take the TIMBERWOLVES -1.5 (+100) here. The Suns are overmatched, as Gobert has patrolled the paint like a beast. The Suns almost have to shoot the lights out from 3 in order to win, and that’s where the rebounding disadvantage looms.
Over/Under
We’ve cashed 2 Overs and 1 Under, and the Under hit when Phoenix scored a paltry 93 points. This is a manageable Over, and I’m all about it.
Take the OVER 212.5 (-110).
