Suns vs Timberwolves Betting Pick
This game will be played at Target Center at 8:00 PM ET on Wednesday, November 9, 2022.
Why Bet The Timberwolves:
✅ The Suns are are still dealing with some injuries coming into this contest. Chris Paul is questionable with a heel injury, while Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder are both out. While the Timberwolves have struggled early this season, they will be able to take advantage of those injuries for Phoenix.
✅ Minnesota will get a boost as Rudy Gobert should be back for this game after being in health and safety protocols. With Gobert back, the Wolves will be better able to protect the paint and deal with Deandre Ayton.
✅ The Suns are 7-3 so far this season, but they have not been impressive on the road at all. They are just 1-2 away from home, and their early struggles on the road will help the Timberwolves get an important win.

Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns lost their last game prior to the leaguewide day off for Election Day. In Philadelphia, the Suns could not get a handle on Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in the second half, as they lost by double digits. Here, the Suns will try to get back on track against a struggling Timberwolves team, but injuries could prevent that.
We know that Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder are out for Phoenix coming into this contest. But they are also potentially going to be without Chris Paul, who is questionable due to an injured heel. Should he miss this game, the Suns could drop to 1-3 on the road early in the year.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves lost their final game before Election Day as well, getting crushed by the New York Knicks. Rudy Gobert was out for that game, and the defense of the Timberwolves missed the game with him. Minnesota gave up a ton of threes to the Knicks, and will need to be better at all levels on defense to beat the Suns.
In general, something seems off with the chemistry of the Timberwolves right now. They have not been playing well, but there seems to be a general malaise to go with that poor play. With Gobert expected to return tonight, the Timberwolves need to get it together defensively and emotionally in order to climb the standings in the Western Conference.
