Two teams will put their two-game winning streaks on the line on Friday as the Suns play the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix. The Suns (45-31) have benefitted from Devin Booker's purple patch, with the sharpshooter dropping 40 or more points in back-to-back games. Meanwhile, Minnesota (53-23) has managed to win 9 of 13 games since losing their star center Karl-Anthony Towns to a meniscus tear. The team hopes to have him back ready to play for the playoffs, in which they are positioned to enjoy home court advantage as the number one seed. The last time these two Western teams played was back in mid-November, when Phoenix rose to the occasion in a 133-115 win. The Timberwolves near 50-point beatdown of Toronto on Wednesday marked their 53rd win and clinched their 2nd-best regular season record in franchise history. The Suns are also coming off a dominant victory, handling Cleveland easily 122-101.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

Despite the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota has a plethora of players to turn to, including Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Kyle Anderson, and the emerging talent Naz Reid. Phoenix's bench lacks scoring, putting a heavy burden on Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to shoulder the offensive burden. We think Minnesota can punish Phoenix when their top players rest and can limit the Suns' guard scoring thanks to their stalwart defense. Making Phoenix a 3.5-point favorite at home implies they are close favorites on neutral territory which we believe is not correct. The West-leading Timberwolves have proven that they are still a very strong team without KAT, keeping a close game in the cards. We recommend taking the points here and trusting in Minnesota to justify their record. Our Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction: Minnesota +3.5 at FanDuel (-110).
