AMEDEUS' NBA HARDCOURT HAMMER!
(NBA) Minnesota vs. Phoenix, 04/26/2024 10:30 PM, Score: 126 - 109
Total: 207.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
The Timberwolves are coming into this game with a 2-0 lead in the series and they are coming off of a game they won 105-93 which had less than 200 points total in it. The 1st game in this series actually had 215 points total though and the last 2 straight meetings between these 2 prior to game 2 both went over 210 points. They have played against each other 5 times this season, including their 2 playoff games, and 3 of their 5 games have gone over 210 points. The Suns are coming into this game after 2 straight games which they scored under 100 points and that is a very rare occurrence for this offense this season. The Suns have scored less than 100 points in just 7 games this season and every single game they responded with a game right after where both teams scored 100+ points, the only exception being game 1 of this playoff series. The Suns are going to push for more offense in this game and this is a game they also need to win since they are down 2-0 in the series so they are going to score points and keep driving the score up, especially if they fall behind at any point. The Timberwolves will not have the home crowd on their side to feed off of either so it will be tougher for them to play that gritty defense they have been playing in the first 2 games of this series. The Timberwolves are going to have to score points in this game as well as the Suns will be pushing hard to win this game and the Suns are not going to win it with their defense so expect both teams to drive up this score in this game. Between these two sides, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
