Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota head into this game on the back of a blowout win – their ninth victory in their last 11 games.

The Timberwolves responded to back-to-back defeats on the road by wrapping up that trip with three straight victories, beating the LA Clippers 118-100, and Utah 119-100 and 114-104.

That run was halted by a 115-112 defeat at home to Denver, but they responded immediately with a 104-91 win over Cleveland, and then beat Golden State 114-100, Detroit 106-91 and Denver 111-98.

Minnesota failed to make it five-in-a-row as they suffered a surprise 109-101 defeat to Chicago, but they have rebounded swiftly.

The Timberwolves beat Houston 113-106 at home, before blowing out Toronto in a 133-85 victory on Wednesday night.

Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix come into this matchup in solid form, having recorded victories in six of their last eight games.

The Suns started this sequence with back-to-back wins at home, beating Philadelphia 114-102 and Atlanta 128-115.

They then downed San Antonio on the road, 131-106, only to lose the second half of that double-header with the Spurs, 104-102.

Phoenix bounced back from that loss with a 104-97 victory Denver, only to then lose 128-103 at Oklahoma City.

The Suns have responded with back-to-back wins though, beating New Orleans 124-111 on the road before heading home to down Cleveland 122-101.

Verdict

Two in-form teams are going head-to-head and we are siding with the hosts.

Phoenix have had Minnesota's number in recent years so they are likely to make the most of home advantage.
