The red-hot Suns have won seven of eight road games against the Eastern Conference this season heading into this week and five in a row overall. Phoenix has a high-powered attack, #4 in the NBA in points scored, and they face a depleted Minnesota team that is #30 in points allowed, plus dead last in field goal shooting defense allowing .496%. The Timberwolves are off another loss at home, shooting just 43% and have not won since Dec. 10 while playing without Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin. Minnesota is on an 8-20-1 ATS run and the Timberwolves are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. The road team is 16-5 ATS when these teams meet and the Suns are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Minnesota. Give the points on Phoenix.
