Command Analysis

Minnesota Timberwolves

Current form
Minnesota is once again in a situation that can be described as unpleasant, but not critical. Three defeats in the last four meetings is, of course, a wake—up call, but not yet an alarm signal. On March 25, Chris Finch's team went to visit Indiana and returned with a 16—point difference of 103:119. Moreover, there were no truly intriguing moments in that match: the Pacers methodically dismantled the guests, not even leaving them a consolatory advantage in one of the quarters.
From the good side, Naz Reed proved once again that he is not just a man with an interesting surname, but quite an important element of Minnesota. 20 points in the piggy bank, even though the team lost. Anthony Edwards, who has long been considered the Timberwolves' main weapon, scored 17 points, while Rudy Gobert, like a true French gourmet, preferred a double-double dish with 16 points, 16 rebounds and three assists. However, with such numbers, you can at least paint pictures, but if your team is losing, it doesn't do much good. So far, Minnesota ranks eighth in the West with 41 wins and 32 losses. But there is still time to fix the situation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Before the game, the main question for fans is: which of the key players will be on the floor? And here there is good news for the Timberwolves — the team is approaching the meeting in full force. All the stars are in place, no one is healing injuries, no one is serving a suspension. So there are no excuses, just a struggle.

Phoenix Suns

Current form
Phoenix decided on March 27 to test its resilience to the blows of fate. The result is 102:132 against Boston and, to put it mildly, an unsuccessful experiment. More than thirty points difference is no longer a defeat, but a defeat with elements of humiliation.
However, one person in the Sanz team kept the brand. Kevin Durant, as befits a superstar, reminded everyone why he is considered one of the best in the NBA. 30 points in the asset, and, it seems, the only one who at least tried to save the situation. Devin Booker scored a double-double (14 points, seven rebounds, ten assists), but he is unlikely to remember this match with warmth. Nick Richards added a modest 10 points, and that's it. After 73 games played, Phoenix is in 11th place in the West with 35 wins and 38 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries
Unfortunately, the Suns arrive in Minneapolis not in the best condition. The main loss is Bradley Beal, who is out for two weeks due to injury. In such a situation, any reinforcement is needed like air, but there is none.
Interesting facts for betting
