Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns prediction
Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Playoff Series between Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns takes place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, just like Game 1. The Timberwolves already lead the series 1-0 after an emphatic 120-95 win in the opening game. The home team are still slight favorites to win this game, but the Suns are expected to give a much-improved performance if they rectify their mistakes from game 1.
Both teams are known for their offensive game that they showed this season. Timberwolves average 113.3 points for the season, with the Phoenix Suns even better at an average of 116.2 points. If game 1 was anything to go by, we are in for another explosive match here. The Suns started fast and took a narrow lead in the 1st quarter before Timberwolves eventually grew into the game and took control from the 2nd quarter.
Game 1 also shaped into a contest between Anthony Edwards (33 points) and Kevin Durant (31 points), but in the end the bench players for the Timberwolves made the difference, most notably Nickeil Alexander-Walker coming in to get 18 points and 4 rebounds. One player that underperformed as per expectations is Bradley Beal of the Phoenix Suns who got 15 points.
Beal averaged 26.8 points in the past 5 games and is expected to up his performance from game 1. He is a good bet to get more than 17 points in game 2, so our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns prediction is Bradley Beal Over 17.5 Points.
Tip: Bradley Beal Over 17.5 Points
