Phoenix at Minnesota

Minnesota showed that there is no doubt who the superior team is as it routed the Suns 120-95 in Game 1 while outrebounding Phoenix 52-28. Anthony Edwards scored 18 of his 33 points in the third quarter and the Timberwolves hit 20 of 22 free throws while dominating every department. Minnesota surprisingly is just a small favorite in Game 2 and the Suns have been inconsistent all season. Five of the past six meetings have gone OVER and Minnesota is 7-2 OVER its past nine games. Phoenix is 0-7 ATS its past seven playoff games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5 points and 0-8 ATS as a playoff dog overall. The Suns are 6-14 ATS as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points dating back to the regular season. Phoenix hit just nine of 28 3-point tries while Minnesota shot 50 percent overall in Game 1. Take the Timberwolves as a Max Play, and take the OVER.
