© Matt Krohn- USA TODAY Sports

In less than an hour, the Phoenix Suns will be hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Footprint Center. This will also be the home debut of Kevin Durant in a Phoenix Suns uniform. This will be the first time all season the Suns have been fully healthy from top to bottom on their roster and it comes at a perfect time with 7 games to go.

Durant has missed the last 10 games of the season and the Suns went 4-6 in his abscence. When Durant has played so far, the Suns are a perfect 3-0. The Suns are hoping the trend can continue in what appears to be a must win game in terms of playoff seeding perspective.

The Timberwolves are coming off two impressive wins against the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. They’re currently on a 4 game winning streak and are peaking at just the right time with Karl Anthony-Towns back in the lineup. The Suns are only 1.5 games ahead of the Timberwolves so this is looking like a very important matchup tonight.

ODDS:

Against the Spread: Suns are favored at -7

Moneyline: Suns moneyline set at -278 and the Timberwolves moneyline is set at +222

Total: The total is set at 222.5

Predictions:

I got the Suns continuing their winning ways and defeating the Timberwolves by a final score of 119-111. Kevin Durant is back making his home debut, the crowd will be fired up, the team will thrive off the energy. It has the makings to be a really special night for Phoenix. I have the Timberwolves making a run in the second half to make it close but the Suns will stay in command and win out right.
