Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The NBA Playoffs in the Western Conference get underway with the third-seed Minnesota Timberwolves hosting the sixth-seed Phoenix Suns for game one of this seven-game series. The Timberwolves were one of the surprises of the 2023/24 NBA regular season as their 56-26 record saw them finish just one game behind the first-place Thunder. They will face a formidable test in their opening round opponent with the Phoenix Suns boasting arguably the league’s best ‘big three’ made up of KD, Booker and Beal. These two sides actually faced off to end the regular season, with both teams playing their full-strength squads as they each had something to play for on the final day. The Timberwolves would fall to a 125-106 defeat on their home court as they allowed Phoenix to shoot 55% from three-point range. The loss was the second in the last three games for Minnesota and was only their 11th defeat at the Target Center this season.
The Suns were able to pick things up after a slow start this season, posting a 32-18 record since the start of 2024. This was also around the time that Bradley Beal got fully healthy after managing to play just six of the team’s first 30 games. Despite being the sixth seed, Phoenix is actually the oddsmakers’ favorite to win this series at a price of around ¾ (1.75). They’ll be hoping to pick up where they left off last game and steal home court advantage ahead of game two on Tuesday. The Suns ended the regular season in fine form by winning their last three games in a row as well as seven of their last 10 overall. Bradley Beal dropped 36 points in the aforementioned 125-106 win over Minnesota last weekend, which included a perfect six-for-six from downtown.
