Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns Betting Prediction
The Timberwolves have a good team that's ready to attack this window, but their backcourt in this matchup could be their undoing. The combination of point guard Chris Paul and shooting guard Devin Booker have been electric to begin the season.
The Suns, meanwhile, have also been one of the best teams with more than a 12 point differential heading into this game. Even with DeAndre Ayton out, their shooting could peg them back, but expect the Suns to eventually prevail.
Pick: Phoenix Suns -4 (-110)
