The Suns are coming into this game with a 49-33 record this season and they have been heating up in their recent games as they were pushing themselves to get a playoff spot in the Western Conference. They needed to win games to avoid the play-in tournament and they sure showed up when they needed to as they won their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 8 games to end the regular season. They have been very good on the road recently as well, winning their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games on the road, and they were also 24-17 on the road this season. They are going to have some coinfidence here as well as they are coming off of a road win by 19 points against the Timberwolves to end the season, a game both teams needed to win as the Suns were fighting for the 6th seed while the Timberwolves were fighting for the number 1 seed. They are going up against a Timberwolves team that is 56-26 this season and they have been great at home all season at 30-11. They were not playing as well to end the season though as they lost the important games they needed to win. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games, losing to the Suns and the Nuggets in that span, and even their 1 win in that span they struggled to get as they only beat the Hawks by 3 points at home. The Timberwolves have not played well against the Suns this season either. The Suns won all 3 games against the Timberwolves this season with all 3 wins coming by 10+ points and 2 of those wins coming in the month of April alone. The Timberwolves have been great all season but they have struggled against the Suns and the Suns are healthy right now playing at their best over the last few weeks. The Suns will cover the spread in this game.
