Minnesota Seeking Top Seed in West

Thriller in Phoenix
What a game we expect this to be. Two teams out of the Western Conference that are heading to the postseason, but both have a ton to play for in this game. We like the big three of Phoenix to be the difference maker in this game. Three veterans ready for the postseason. Our final bet for the game on Friday is the Phoenix Suns -3.5 over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your NBA Betting!
