Game Prediction
The Phoenix Suns need to win this game if they want to keep playoff hopes alive. However, the Timberwolves are proving to be a formidable opponent. Even with Durant, Booker, and Beal having 20+ points per game, they are dominated in all categories. Phoenix looks to be overwhelmed and unable to push back much. They don’t look like they want to be in the playoffs.
This Minnesota team has proven they are dangerous. Edwards is clearly determined to beat his idol, Durant, and finish this one in a sweep. I believe that the T-wolves are going to win tonight and complete the sweep.
Final Pick
Minnesota Timberwolves -120
