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.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!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.
Tip-off begins in less than 30 minutes. Let’s see if the Suns can show a glimpse of what’s to come tonight with Durant back in the lineup.
