Minnesota at Phoenix

Minnesota plays its fourth straight on the road. They're a defensive-first team, ranked sixth in the NBA in points given up and seventh in shooting allowed. The offense is 20th in scoring and in field goal shooting. They will have to lean on that defense as leading scorer Anthony Edwards (right calf soreness) and second-leading scorer Julius Randle are questionable to play while Rudy Gobert (11 ppg, 10.4 rpg) has been ruled out (back injury). Phoenix has injury problems as well, with third-leading scorer Bradley Beal questionable after missing the past two games with left calf tightness, plus Grayson Allen is dealing with a sore left foot. Take Minnesota/Phoenix UNDER the total.
