Who was favored in Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves?

Minnesota Timberwolves were the favorite at DraftKings, moneyline -375 (about 79% implied). The underdog won.

The Phoenix Suns secured a narrow victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 108-105 at Target Center. This result extends the Suns' lead in the season series to 3-0 against the Timberwolves, having previously won their earlier meetings this season. The Timberwolves, despite a strong home record of 15-9, were unable to capitalize on their recent form, which had seen them win five consecutive games leading into this matchup.

In their last ten games, the Timberwolves boasted a record of 7-3, averaging 119.7 points scored while allowing 114.0 points. Their home performance has been particularly impressive, with a perfect record of 5-0 in their last five home games, averaging 125.4 points scored and 118.2 points allowed. Conversely, the Suns, with a record of 14-10, have struggled recently, going 5-5 in their last ten games and losing their most recent outing against the Houston Rockets. They averaged 113.2 points scored and allowed 114.1 points during this stretch.

The Timberwolves entered the game missing Donte DiVincenzo due to an Achilles injury, which could have impacted their depth. The Suns had two players listed as day-to-day: CJ Huntley with a hamstring issue and Mark Williams with a foot injury, both of whom were uncertain for the game.

The betting market reflected the Timberwolves as favorites, with DraftKings listing them at -8.5 on the spread and -375 on the money line, while the Suns were set at +295. The total for the game was set at 225.5, with both the over and under priced at -110.

Conditions during the game were typical for an indoor arena, with no adverse weather affecting play. Fans were treated to a competitive matchup, with the Timberwolves looking to avenge their previous losses to the Suns.

As the game progressed, the Suns managed to maintain a slight edge, with key contributions from Julius Randle and Grayson Allen in the fourth quarter. Randle's free throws and a dunk from Williams helped push the Suns ahead, while Anthony Edwards attempted to rally the Timberwolves with driving layups. However, the Timberwolves could not complete the comeback, ultimately falling short.

This game showcased the Suns' ability to perform under pressure, further complicating the Timberwolves' quest for a win against a familiar opponent.
