Suns Wolves Free Pick: Wolves -4
Here is my Suns Wolves free pick.
The Timberwolves have not been good since returning from the break experiencing slippage on both ends of the court.
While their four out of five losses all came against postseason-ranked teams, they weren’t really in any of those matches.
Minny is only two games up on the Suns, and while they sit in sixth, are within striking distance of the Nuggets (even), Rockets (half game back) and Lakers (two games back).
Devin Booker and Jalen Green have discovered chemistry in the backcourt and have been putting up heaters in their recent games. They’ll need another strong effort given the rest disadvantage and the emphasis on how important winning this game is.
To that end, as much as the Wolves are flailing, I’ll take them given the rest advantage to win and cover,
