The first-round playoff series between the sixth-seeded Phoenix Suns and third-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves tips off on Saturday, April 20th.
Season Series
The Suns hold the all-time record having bested the Wolves in 83 of their 127 meetings. In fact, the Suns have dominated recent meetings sweeping the series this season and winning three of the four matches last season.
However, this is the first time these clubs are meeting in the postseason.
Phoenix Suns
The Big 3 are finally all healthy and seemingly hit their stride during the stretch run when they posted a 16-9 record with the finishing touch being a victory in the final game of the season against the Timberwolves.
That said, the Suns will face a tough defensive Wolves club who are longer, stronger and will look to be aggressive and physical on defense. The keys for Phoenix will be how they navigate clutch time if games are close and who they can rely on off the bench given their lack of depth.
Suns Stats
As of this posting, Phoenix ranks 10th offensively (116.8) and tied for 12th defensively (113.7) while their net differential is plus +3.1 which ranks eighth overall.
The Suns struggled against the spread this season with a 35-45-2 record through 82 contests.
Suns Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Damion Lee, SG (OUT indefinitely — knee)
Minnesota Timberwolves
When Karl-Anthony Towns went out with injury, many pundits (raises hand) expected some regression especially when Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid also missed time.
Instead, Anthony Edwards led his team to a 12-6 record in the 18 games KAT missed despite playing one of the more difficult schedules in that period.
Towns is back and as silly as it may sound to call him an X-factor that’s what he’ll need to be for Minny to win. Defense isn’t the issue it’s offense which is where he’ll play a major role.
Edwards also has something to prove given he’s struggled against the Suns scoring well below his season averages and vowed to change that dynamic in his pre-series interviews.
Timberwolves Stats
Minnesota ranks tied for 17th on offense (114.6) and first defensively (108.4) while they are a plus +6.3 net differential, ranking third overall.
The Wolves rode the middle with a 40-41-1 record against the spread through 82 matches this season.
Timberwolves Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jaylen Clark, SF (OUT indefinitely—Achilles)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
Minnesota hasn’t won a playoff series since 2004 so the fanbase is salivating at the prospect of accomplishing that feat.
As much as the Wolves want to win there is far less pressure on them to succeed given the star power of the Suns and how the franchise pushed all their chips in to add Bradley Beal in a ‘win now’ move.
That puts all the pressure on Booker, Durant, and Beal to deliver a first-round series win to quantify the moves James Jones made especially since Phoenix has no salary flexibility moving forward.
Either team winning wouldn’t be a surprise given the star power but I’m leaning toward the Wolves in a long series where their depth, size, and defensive prowess wear down the Suns. To that end, I’m picking the Wolves to get the early series lead.
