This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the OVER Suns/Wolves.

These teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening.

The Suns are 7-3 and the Wolves are 5-6. Phoenix though will be out to rebound after a poor 100-88 setback at Philadelphia last time out, and that was as a 1.5-point favorite as well.

Phoenix has now seen the total go UNDER in four straight. It's just 1-2 in its last three. It'll be motivated here to snap the slide.

Wolves fans can empathize. Minnesota is still trying to adjust to its new line-up. It's looked great at times, and pedestrian in others. Off a 120-107 home loss to the Knicks though, they'll also be "fired up" here to break the string of poor play.

Additionally note that Minnesota plays with revenge here after a 116-107 loss at Phoenix just last week. That total also went UNDER the number. The total in that one was 227.5.

Today's total has dropped a few points from that, and now we can take advantage.

The overall "situation" points to a more wide-open affair, so the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
