The Minnesota Timberwolves will play host to the Phoenix Suns at the Target Center in the NBA on Tuesday. The Timberwolves (41-27) are sixth in the Western Conference standings, while the Suns (41-27) are seventh. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are guaranteed a spot in the play-ins, but they have not been in good form lately and suffered their fourth loss in five, 116-103 to the Thunder on Sunday.
The Timberwolves held a six-point lead at the break, but that changed in the second half, as OKC ramped up their defence and strangled Anthony Edwards, who finished with 19 points on 6 of 17 shooting.
Minnesota are 22-12 at home but lost both games against this opponent this season. Edwards will not play for the home side tonight.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns will be able to move up to sixth with a win here, but they are coming off their second straight defeat, losing to the Celtics 120-112 on the road last night.
Despite the result, Devin Booker delivered a standout 40-point performance and leads the team in points (25.7) and assists (6.0) this season. However, Dillon Brook’s absence has certainly been evident over the last month.
The Suns are 17-16 on the road. Brooks and Mark Williams are ruled out for the visitors in this match.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Timberwolves are favoured in this match because they are playing at home and have a full day’s rest advantage, but they are going to be without the services of Anthony Edwards, which is a major blow.
Minnesota have also been the least profitable team in the NBA this season and failed to cover the spread in both games against this opponent this term. The Suns have been rewarding their backers all season, and as underdogs in this one, we feel they are good value. Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns prediction is Phoenix Suns +7.5.
If your team in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
