AMEDEUS' NBA HARDCOURT HAMMER!
(NBA) Phoenix vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -110.00 Phoenix (Away)
Result: Win
The Suns are coming into this game with a 48-33 record overall and they are currently sitting in 7th place in the Western Conference, just 1 game behind the Pelicans in 6th. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 games, and they still have something to play for here as they are trying to avoid the play-in tournament which they can do with a win here as long as the Pelicans lose as well. Their last 2 wins both came on the road and they have actually been playing better on the road recently as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 road games with some quality wins in that span as well. They are going up against a Timberwolves team that is 56-25 this season and they are currently in a 3 way tie for the number 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves need to win this game to give themselves a chance at winning the number 1 seed, but their chances are not very good as they have the toughest matchup out of all 3 teams fighting for the number 1 seed. Edwards and KAT are also both questionable for this game and even if they do play, they could be pulled for rest at any time if the Nuggets and the Thunder are blowing out their opponents late. Even with them both playing, the Suns have beaten this Timberwolves team twice this season and they will have no problem beating them again in a game they need to avoid the play-in tournament. Both of these teams need this game but the Suns need it a lot more and they have been playing very well in their recent games. The Suns are going to cover the spread in this game.
