As part of one of the matches of the regular NBA championship, the players of Phoenix and Minnesota will fight face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix basketball players have lost a number of key players. First of all, it would be worth noting McGee, Payne and Crowder. All these performers did not take part in the last meetings of the "sunny", but despite this fact, Phoenix managed to extend its winning streak, which reached 8 meetings. We emphasize that the Suns played their last match against Utah and were able to defeat their opponent twice, having practically not experienced serious pressure from the opponent in these meetings.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Wolves were able to gain a foothold on the seventh line of the Western Conference, but this is not enough for them. They are eager to displace Denver from their line, but for this they need to get victories. With this, Minnesota seems to have solid problems, since the players are too unstable. In the last match, Finch's team lost away to Golden State. Stephen Curry and the company failed to fight (115:124). However, before that, the team was able to beat Portland in a fierce fight with a score of 109:107.
Statistics and figures:
- Phoenix is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Suns have an 8-match winning streak;
- "Wolves" won 3 meetings from the previous 5;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 99:96 in favor of the Suns.
Forecast
I don't think the opponents will be able to break through the base total of 229.5 points. It's all the fault of the fact that both opponents have a good and strong defense, which does not allow teams to show over-attacking basketball. Our bet will be in favor of the bookmaker "bottom".
