Will the T-Wolves seize the opportunity?
For the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Phoenix Suns game, get your tip and the latest odds at Wettbasis. The home team from the Target Center and the visitors from Arizona are neighbors in the middle of the Western Conference table. The game will therefore see two teams of equal strength face each other.
Although the visitors have lost three of their last four games, while the home team is now unbeaten in five games, both current records need to be put into perspective in light of their respective opponents. The Suns recently faced the top four teams in the West, which made for a very difficult schedule for them.
In contrast, Coach Chris Finch’s “T-Wolves” had a much easier time against franchises such as the LA Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the Suns’ current personnel situation is a major factor working against them. In their penultimate game against the Lakers, who are ranked third in the West, the most important player in the squad, Devin Booker, was injured.
The top guard will now also miss the game against the Timberwolves, and his absence cannot be compensated for by Coach Jordan Ott’s team. This is easily seen from the fact that Booker has recorded the most points (25.0) and assists (6.7) per game for the Suns so far this season. In light of this, the forecast for the matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns is a maximum of 109 points for the visitors.

For the next edition of Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Phoenix Suns, the odds once again favor the home team.
Minnesota Timberwolves – Phoenix Suns Tip
The fact that the two teams are evenly matched from a playing perspective is not only evident from the Western Conference table, where the two teams are separated by just two wins, but was also evident in their most recent encounter around two weeks ago. Phoenix won by a narrow margin of one point in front of their home crowd.
Another close game would have been expected at the Target Center, but the absence of Devin Booker on the visitors’ side has shifted the balance of power significantly in favor of the hosts. Without the accurate guard, who is also a reliable and efficient playmaker, the Suns’ offense in particular can be considered weakened.
In addition, the offense is already decimated, as Jalen Green, the second pick in the 2021 draft, another particularly powerful guard, is still unable to play due to injury. Against this backdrop, the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Phoenix Suns betting odds of less than 109.5 points by the visiting team from Arizona appear to be a good bet. A limit that the visitors already clearly undercut in their last game against the Houston Rockets, in which they played without Devin Booker, scoring 98 points!
