[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 3-seed Minnesota Timberwolves meet the 6-seed Phoenix Suns in Game 4 of a best-of-7 Western Conference, 1st-round series Sunday. The Timberwolves lead the series 3-0. Tip-off from Footprint Center is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The T-Wolves smacked the Suns 126-109 in Game 3 to put the Phoenix Big 3 on the brink of elimination. G Anthony Edwards had 36 points, and C Rudy Gobert had 19 points and 14 boards. The Wolves opened the game up in the 3rd quarter in each game. The Wolves went 7-for-11 from distance in the quarter to take a 22-point lead into the 4th quarter.

G Bradley Beal showed up with 28 points, which nearly matched his combined output of 29 in the first 2 games. The Suns were outrebounded 50-28 in Game 3. They’re going to have to figure out a way to contend with the Wolves’ size underneath or else they’re going home Sunday.

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).

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 3-seed Minnesota Timberwolves meet the 6-seed Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of a best-of-7 Western Conference, 1st-round series Friday. The Timberwolves lead the series 2-0. Tip-off from Footprint Center is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves have dominated Phoenix, and that was no more evident than Game 2 with a 105-93 win Tuesday. G Anthony Edwards only had 15 points on 3-for-12 shooting, but the Wolves had 6 players hit double figures. F Jaden McDaniels stood out with 25 points and 8 boards, and the team was a +24 when he was on the floor.

G Devin Booker (20 points), F Kevin Durant (18) and G Bradley Beal (14) shot 18-for-45 (40%) from the floor. Making matters worse, they lost G Grayson Allen in the 3rd quarter after aggravating an ankle sprain. There is still enough talent for the Suns to get back into this series, but it has to turn on in Game 3 at home.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 109, Timberwolves 106

Moneyline

Over the last 10 meetings, the Suns have still won 7, and they won all 4 at home. I think they’ll find a way to get this one, but there’s no chance I’m spending -190 on them after the defensive excellence Minnesota has shown.

Instead, fresh off the playoff game of his career, I’ll take JADEN MCDANIELS OVER 4.5 REBOUNDS (+105). He has 6 and 8 boards in the first 2 games.

Against the spread

I’m siding with the Wolves here. The Suns could absolutely blow them out at home, but the Wolves have stymied them on both sides of the ball. There’s a legit chance Minnesota actually wins out.

Take the TIMBERWOLVES +4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

We have cashed an Over and an Under in this series, and the Wolves have held the Suns under 100 in each game. I don’t see the Suns remaining under 100 in this one.

Take the OVER 207.5 (-110).

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (39-37) face the Phoenix Suns (40-35) on Wednesday at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves edged out the Sacramento Kings 119-115 Monday as 5-point road underdogs. Minnesota is on a 4-game win streak and is only half a game back of the Golden State Warriors for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.

The Suns covered as 4.5-point road favorites in their 117-103 win over the Utah Jazz Monday. Phoenix is currently the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

This will be the third season meeting between the Timberwolves and the Suns. The teams split the first two meetings while the Over cashed in both.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 122, Timberwolves 115

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Suns (-210) are expected to secure the victory at home, but taking them to win straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds.

Against the spread

SUNS -5.5 (-105) is my play here assuming Durant returns for Phoenix. Durant could make his home debut with the Suns on Wednesday and Phoenix has looked nearly unstoppable when the All-Star forward has played.

The Timberwolves are 7-18-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Suns and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Phoenix.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-108).

Even though this is a high total, both of these teams could be nearing full strength on Wednesday. This is a pace-up game for Phoenix and there are plenty of capable scorers involved in this matchup.

The Suns have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 home games and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with the Timberwolves.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (4-3) are set to square off against the Phoenix Suns (5-1) Tuesday at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves are coming off a disappointing 107-98 loss at the San Antonio Spurs Sunday, falling well short of covering as 15-point favorites. Minnesota’s 3 losses have come against San Antonio (twice) and the Utah Jazz.

The Suns are on a 4-game win streak after defeating the Houston Rockets 124-109 Sunday, coving as 13-point favorites. G Devin Booker continues to be their go-to player with 29.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steal per game on 52.9% shooting from the field.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 119, Timberwolves 111

Moneyline

Just AVOID the moneyline in this game given the current odds for Phoenix (-200) to take care of business at home. The Suns aren’t worth taking straight up as there is a minimal return if they come away with the win.

Against the spread

The Timberwolves are still trying to figure things out with the addition of C Rudy Gobert, so I’ll go with SUNS -4.5 (-120). Phoenix looks like the better overall team thus far, even with Ayton ruled out for Tuesday’s matchup.

The Timberwolves are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings against the Suns in Phoenix. On the other hand, the Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 227.5 (-115) is the fun wager in this game as it’s always exciting to root for a high-scoring contest. Both of these teams are top 6 in defensive rating thus far, but they both have capable scorers on the offensive end.

The Suns have hit the Over in 8 of their last 10 games following an ATS win and they’ve hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 matchups against a team with a winning record.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Phoenix Suns (38-9) host the Minnesota Timberwolves (24-24) Friday at the Footprint Center for a 9 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Minnesota is playing its second game in as many nights. The Timberwolves lost 124-115 at the Golden State Warriors as 6.5-point road underdogs Thursday. Since Jan. 16, the T-Wolves are 4-2 straight-up (SU) and 2-4 against the spread (ATS).

Phoenix is on an 8-game winning streak (5-3 ATS), which includes back-to-back victories in a home-and-away series with the Utah Jazz Monday and Wednesday.

The Suns (-4) eked past the T-Wolves 99-96, but failed to cover as road favorites in their first meeting Nov. 15.

Timberwolves at Suns odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 118, Timberwolves 114

Money line

PASS with a heavy “lean” toward the Timberwolves (+300). I like Minnesota plus the points and generally will sprinkle on an underdog’s money line when betting them to cover the spread.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES +7.5 (-107) for 1 unit.

The Suns -8.5 are without two bigs in starter Ayton and backup McGee, so expect a big game for Minnesota C Karl-Anthony Towns against Phoenix C Bismack Biyombo, who just signed with the club this January.

KAT was sensational in Minnesota’s loss to Phoenix earlier this season, scoring 35 points on 10-for-19 shooting with 13 rebounds against a fully loaded Suns squad.

The reason Phoenix won outright was that T-Wolves SF Anthony Edwards had an uncharacteristically bad night. He scored just 9 points on 2-for-11 shooting and committed 6 turnovers.

However, Edwards has been ballin’ lately, averaging 23.9 points on 61.2% true shooting (.474/.388/.836) with a 117 offensive rating in January.

Edwards loves to attack the rim and paint. Phoenix’s only good rim protector is McGee. Opponents shoot 2.2% better at the rim when Biyombo is on the floor.

Finally, there’s a line freeze in the betting market since a vast majority of the action is on the Suns, according to Pregame.com and the Yahoo! Sports app. Phoenix opened as a 9-point favorite and it’s a red flag whenever sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

BET the TIMBERWOLVES +7.5 (-107) for 1 unit.

Over/Under

SLIGHT LEAN to the OVER 230.5 (-112) for a small wager if at all, because I prefer the Minnesota side more than the total.

Over the past two weeks, the T-Wolves are fifth in adjusted-offensive rating and the Suns are second. Also, both teams play at a top-eight pace.
