Suns vs Timberwolves prediction

The Timberwolves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 30-11 SU on the season. The Suns have also been hit or miss all year and right when you’re ready to believe in them, they let you down. With all that said, the Suns have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Timberwolves, which includes a 19 point win earlier this week. The Suns have covered 9 of those games as well. The Suns are 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS against the Timberwolves this season alone. The Suns clearly have the Timberwolves number, and there’s going to be value with the free points until that changes. Give me the Suns and the free bucket.
