The road Suns enter this contest coming off a 100-88 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. They entered that contest as 1.5-point road favorites.
The home Timberwolves come into this Wednesday night affair off of a 120-107 loss to the New York Knicks. They were 2.5-point home favorites in that one.
Phoenix Suns
In their last three games, the Suns are just 1-2 against the spread. In their last eight, though, they are 6-2.
Recent trends matter, but you can’t ignore the larger body of work, even when that larger body still lives inside Small Sample Size Theatre.
So far this season, the Suns are scoring 112.4 points per night. As of this writing on Tuesday, that puts the team smack dab in the middle of the league at No. 15 across the Association.
Defensively, Phoenix is giving up 103.5 points per night. That number is good enough for 2nd so far this season placing the Suns only behind the No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks.
When looking at advanced stats, the Suns rank 7th in Offensive Efficiency this season, averaging 112.3 points per 100 possessions. And in Defensive Efficiency, the team ranks 3rd, giving up 103.3 points per 100 possessions.
As of this writing on Tuesday night, the Suns have Chris Paul listed as questionable with a heel injury. Ian Wainwright remains out for this one, and in case you missed it, Cam Johnson underwent his surgery on Tuesday that will keep him out 1-2 months.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves weren’t able to cover as 2.5-point favorites in their last outing against the Knicks, but the bigger problem for this group is that it’s just 1-4 ATS in its last five overall.
So far this season, the Timberwolves are scoring 113.7 points per night. That puts the team in the No. 11 spot across the Association.
Defensively, Minnesota is giving up 114.5 points per night. That number is only good enough for 20th.
When looking at advanced stats, the Timberwolves rank 22nd in Offensive Efficiency this season, averaging 107.8 points per 100 possessions.
In Defensive Efficiency, the team ranks 6th, giving up 106.6 points per 100 possessions. That puts them in a tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder at this point in the season.
Entering this one, the Timberwolves appear to have a clear injury report.

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
The Suns may be without Chris Paul in this one. Keep an eye on that as we get closer to tip off.
Even without CP3, though, the Suns look like a different level of contender than the Timberwolves right now. Trusting a shorthanded squad against a fully healthy group comes with its risks, but Phoenix still has the best player on the floor in Devin Booker ready to go.
My money is with Phoenix in this one both straight up and against the spread, and that’s going to be the case whether or not Chris Paul laces up Wednesday night.
