The Suns and the Timberwolves face off at the Target Center in Game 2 of the West Conference Round 1. After a crushing defeat in the opening event, the Suns are fueled with a burning desire for revenge. The Wolves displayed pure domination, but the Suns are ready to fight back.
Phoenix Suns News
The Suns have played one of their worst games in the last month. They crashed in the middle two quarters, allowing the T-Wolves to gain a massive lead, which extended to 30 points in one moment. Devin Booker couldn’t find his rhythm and was only 5-for-16 from the field, ending with 18 points in the end.
Kevin Durant was the only Suns player with a decent performance. The former NBA MVP scored 31 points, had seven boards, and shot 11-for-17. Bradley Beal added 15 buckets and six assists, but his contribution was highly limited. Apparently, the sharpshooting guard isn’t getting many chances on the offensive end.
Minnesota Timberwolves News
We stated that Anthony Edwards has the knowledge and the quality to take over the league. It’s maybe too early for such a statement, but we really believe so. He proved all this during the current campaign, and also in Game 1 of the current series, dropping 33 points, with nine boards and six assists.
Karl-Anthony Towns was very good, with 19 buckets and seven boards. He was highly rational and did not show signs of rust following his injury. A big plus for the Wolves was Nickeil Walker-Alexader, who had 18 points off the bench. Rudy Gobert scored 14 and grabbed 16 boards.
Phoenix Suns vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Game 2 Betting Tip
We don’t think the Suns will have another poor offensive performance like the one two days ago. They also had only 28 boards compared to 52 by the hosts. With the line for the total points set at 212.5, our pick will be over. Yes, the T-Wolves’ efficiency could drop a bit, and it probably will, but on the other side, we expect to see the Suns’ offense much better.
