Season series: First meeting; Suns won 3-1 last season
The Timberwolves are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back after failing to cover as 3.5-point road favorites and hitting the Under (216.5) in their 104-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Minnesota is currently on a league-best 7-game winning streak.
The Suns were defeated 111-99 by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, falling short of covering as 3.5-point home favorites, and the Under (232) connected.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 114, Timberwolves 110
Moneyline
Even with Booker and Beal projected to play, I'll PASS on the Suns' moneyline at the current odds (-250). Backing a team at over -200 odds isn't advised, considering the minimal profit you'll receive if they win.
Against the spread
TIMBERWOLVES +6.5 (-115) is the play despite Minnesota being on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. The Timberwolves have won 7 straight games for a reason, and they will keep this game close or even win outright on the road.
Minnesota is 6-4 ATS and Phoenix is 4-5-1 ATS this season.
Over/Under
UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the ideal wager as we'll give some respect to the defense of the Timberwolves. Minnesota owns the best defensive rating in the NBA, and both teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace.
While Booker and Beal are trending toward being active, the Suns will need time to adjust to having both of them on the court together alongside F Kevin Durant.
