They haven't looked good on their home court this year with their 9-13 home record, but they have also been bad for a lot of the season and are just starting to get hot now, climbing up the standings in the West. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have looked good in their games this season with their 25-21 record overall which has them right in the middle of the West at the moment. They haven't been a bad road team this season with their 13-11 road record, but they have also been really inconsistent all year. They are getting hot again with 3 wins in a row now, but they are only 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Suns have also been getting hot lately with 3 wins in a row now, but they are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are really starting to put everything together after a terrible start to the season. The Suns haven't played well against the Timberwolves lately, losing the only game against them this season and getting swept by them in the playoffs last year, but the Suns are going to bring their best effort here to finally get their revenge on this team and they can take advantage of the inconsistencies the Timberwolves have had all season. The Suns have been surging up the standings lately as they get hot and they are showing no signs of slowing down lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Suns to cover the spread in this game.

“That was a totally unacceptable second half of basketball. If we’re trying to be a team and go where we’re trying to go, that’s not good enough.” - Chris Finch after his team’s win against the Hawks in their game on Monday.

“We don’t have a relationship. So, it’s fine. For me, just be a pro and do the best I can. Work and stay ready for whatever might be, but there is no chaos or bringing that to this team. They already have plenty of it. Trying to be as professional as I can and work my ass off for something else.” - Jusuf Nurkic on his relationship with Mike Budenholzer.
