I just don’t understand why Minnesota is the favorite here. Yes, I know they finished their regular season with a 56-26 overall record. But the Timberwolves got bounced in the first round in each of the past two seasons and hasn’t make it past the first round since 2004. Phoenix finished their regular season running hot, winning three in a row and seven of their last 10. The Suns are also in the playoff for the fourth year in a row. Phoenix has also dominated Minnesota, taking nine of the last 10 meetings both SU and ATS, which does include all three meetings this season. And when it comes to covering the spread, the Suns are 6-4 ATS in their last 10, while the Timberwolves are just 3-7 in their last 10. I’ll take the points with Phoenix.
