Point Spread: 3.50 | -115.00 Phoenix (Away)
Result: Loss
The Suns are coming into this game with a 49-33 record overall and they have been playing well in their recent games to end the season. They ended the regular season winning their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 8 games, including 2 wins against the Timberwolves in that span. They also ended the season in their very last game with a win against the Timberwolves on the road by 19 points, a game the Suns needed to win to secure the number 6 seed. The Timberwolves got their revenge in game 1 as they took a 1-0 series lead with a win over the Suns by 25 points, but the Suns have played very well against the Timberwolves all season as they match up well and they will be hungry for their revenge here to even up the series going back home. The Suns have not been bad on the road this season as they are 24-17 on the road and they also ended the regular season winning their last 4 straight road games before losing game 1 of this series. The Suns have also been very good in this position as they ended the season with 3 straight road games and after playing game 1 in this series, they are now playing their 5th straight road game. The Suns have been very good over the last 3 seasons when playing their 5th straight road game as they are 16-4 ATS and went 6-1 ATS this season alone when playing their 5th straight road game. They are also 5-1 ATS this season after a game that they failed to score 100 points so expect the Suns to get up for this game with some revenge in mind. The Timberwolves do not have a lot of playoff experience either and they have not been in this position much as they are only 3-6 ATS over the last 2 decades when leading in a playoff series, going 0-1 ATS the only time they were leading a playoff series the last 3 seasons. The Suns are going to cover the spread in this game and even up the series here.
