See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

The Phoenix Suns +3.5 are a strong value tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves largely because Minnesota will be without its best player. Star guard Anthony Edwards has been ruled out with knee soreness, removing the Wolves’ leading scorer from the lineup. 

Without Edwards creating offense and drawing defensive attention, the Timberwolves will have to rely more heavily on secondary scorers. That opens the door for Phoenix to stay competitive throughout the game. With elite shot creators and the motivation of a key Western Conference matchup, the Suns have more than enough firepower to keep this game within one possession and cover the +3.5 spread tonight.
