Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off losses to the LA Lakers and the Utah Jazz. Both were close games and could have gone either way, which should give the Timberwolves the motivation they need to put on a solid display at the Footprint Center.

Since the beginning of the new year, Anthony Edwards has elevated his numbers, averaging 27.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. The 23-year-old has been key in both of the Timberwolves’ wins over the Suns this season recording 24 points on Jan. 17 and 33 on Jan. 29.

With Julius Randle questionable, Edwards will likely need to lift a heavier load on offense to make it 3-0 against the Suns in their season series. However, he might not have things easy, as the Suns are desperate for momentum after winning their most recent game against the Pelicans.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Betting Tips

Anthony Edwards has recorded 24.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists over his last five games. The 23-year-old might have to manage this game without Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert. So, Edwards will likely have the ball in his hands more often than usual and could surpass his points prop of 27.5.

Kevin Durant, meanwhile, has taken a step back since he was being linked to different teams ahead of the trade deadline. Over the last five games, KD has been solid, averaging 22.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. But, this is far from his usual level, so he could miss his points prop of 27.
