Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview

The Phoenix Suns, boasting a 9-4 record, are set to clash with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who stand at 7-6, in a Sunday matinee showdown at Target Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 PM ET, and while the Timberwolves are big favorites on their home court, the Suns have shown resilience, winning 7 of their last 10 games.

Despite the Suns' recent form, the betting lines heavily favor the Timberwolves. The spread is set at Timberwolves -7.0, reflecting their perceived dominance at home. The moneyline odds give Minnesota an implied win probability of 71%, with a line of -275. Meanwhile, the Suns, at +230, have an implied win probability of just 29%.

The Suns enter this matchup after a disappointing 99-83 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Conversely, the Timberwolves are coming off a high-scoring victory against the Sacramento Kings, winning 130-126. However, Minnesota's recent form has been shaky, dropping 3 of their last 4 games.

For those interested in player props, Anthony Edwards is a name to watch. His points and rebounds market has been particularly popular among bettors. Initially set at over 33.5 points and rebounds with odds of -120, the line has shifted to 34.5 at -105, indicating significant action on the over.

This game presents an intriguing contrast: the Suns' strong recent performances against the Timberwolves' home-court advantage and betting market confidence. While the odds favor Minnesota, Phoenix's recent form suggests they could surprise. Bettors and fans alike will be keenly watching to see if the Suns can defy the odds or if the Timberwolves will protect their turf.
