Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns

On Wednesday's NBA schedule, the eighth-place Phoenix Suns will face the seventh-place Minnesota Timberwolves in a matchup in the Western Conference. With a record of 25-21, the Twolves are slightly ahead of the Suns, who are 24-21. We've prepared a match prediction for you!

The Suns will enter this game hoping to win four straight, as they have been playing well lately. The Suns defeated the Clippers 111-109 at home on Monday, led by Durant and Booker's combined 50 points.

The Suns are playing at their best level since the season began, winning eight of their first nine games. They have won eight of their last ten games overall. Over the past ten games, they have increased their scoring from their seasonal average of 112.7 points per game to 115.9 points.

As they travel to the Footprint Center, Minnesota is trying to extend their own winning streak. In a 100-92 victory at home on Monday, the visitors demonstrated why they have one of the top defenses in the NBA by holding the Hawks to 92 points.

The Timberwolves have now won three straight games and are allowing the fourth fewest points per game (107.7).

Although the Timberwolves had some problems when the calendar changed to 2025, their recent winning streak of three games has many wondering if Minnesota and Anthony Edwards will return. The team's future is bright after their 29-point thumping of the Denver Nuggets, but maintaining similar performances will be crucial. As the playoffs draw near, the Timberwolves must secure a better seed despite having one of the league's most obnoxious, postseason-style lineups.

There are some flaws in the possible claim that the Suns are a different club, despite their recent 8-2 success streak.

With eight victories in their last ten games, Phoenix has been playing well lately. They were double-digit favorites in four of those eight wins, so there have been some easy wins on that schedule, but professional sports are unpredictable. Phoenix has a different approach this season, as evidenced by the Suns' recent courageous victory over the Suns as a one-point underdog. The team's potential will become clear if they can bounce back from that and do similarly versus Minnesota.

Last season, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves in all three of their regular-season games, so it was even more unexpected when Minnesota swept them in the postseason. They must be thinking about it now since in their first meeting of the season, Minnesota extended their winning run. It's difficult to overlook the Suns' four-game winning streak prior to their most recent surge, but it makes sense if you didn't believe it.

Given that Minnesota extended their winning streak in their season-opening matchup, they must be considering it now. The Suns' four-game winning streak before their most recent run is hard to ignore, but it makes sense if you weren't convinced.
