The Timberwolves are coming off a 121-118 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on November 10, 2023. The Suns are coming off a 119-122 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 12, 2023.
The Timberwolves are 2-2 on the season, while the Suns are 1-2. The Timberwolves are led by Anthony Edwards, who is averaging 24.5 points per game, while the Suns are led by Devin Booker, who is averaging 25.0 points per game.
The Timberwolves are expected to be without Jordan McLaughlin (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (knee) for this game. The Suns are expected to be without Cameron Johnson (knee) and Landry Shamet (ankle) for this game.
The Timberwolves are a more talented team than the Suns, but they have been struggling to find consistency this season. The Suns are a more experienced team and they have been playing better defense this season. This game should be a close one, but I expect the Timberwolves to win.

Timberwolves by 3
