The Minnesota Timberwolves hope to take a 2-0 series lead over the Phoenix Suns as we offer our best Suns vs. Timberwolves player props and expert picks for Game 2 based on the best NBA odds.
After Anthony Edwards' 33-point heater in Game 1, the No. 3 seed Minnesota Timberwolves (56-26) are focused on taking a commanding 2-0 series lead over the No. 6 seed Phoenix Suns (49-33). The contest tips off Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT) from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
Edwards scored 18 of his 33 points in a brilliant third quarter to carry Minnesota to a 120-95 win on Saturday. Phoenix will surely have a response behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, who won't let the Suns' NBA championship odds slip away without a fight.

Suns vs. Timberwolves prop bet predictions for Tuesday
Part of making picks is admitting when you're wrong, as we were when we faded Edwards' scoring total in Game 1. We all mourn together. An equally valuable part is not reacting too strongly to small sample sizes.
It's rather telling that four of our five best sportsbooks ha ve the Under juiced to -120 or worse, even after Edwards took over in Game 1. As spectacular as it felt in real time, he scored just 15 points outside of the third quarter and relied on a heavy diet of tough shots to score those 33 total points.
That comes after he failed to score more than 17 points in any of these teams' three regular-season meetings. With these odds implying a hit rate of 53.49%, we're holding our nose and fading Edwards in what remains a tough matchup on paper.

Nothing seemed to be going right for Booker in Game 1, as he couldn't even get layups to fall in an 18-point, five-assist performance. I'd be shocked if he delivers two duds in a row.
Let's not forget that Booker averaged 33.7 points and 7.2 assists across the entire 2023 postseason, clearing this total in nine of 11 games. He also averaged just below this mark in three matchups with Minnesota this season in fewer than 32 minutes per game – well below what he'll play on Tuesday.
With the Over on this prop dealing as short as -125, we'll glady bet these -113 odds for a total payout of $18.85 on a $10 wager.

If there was a way to bet on Naz Reid for this game, that would be my third play, though I don't love what remains of the limited offerings as of this writing.
That's why I'm offering a two-star bet here that I do still think has some value. As mentioned above, Booker was sizzling the last time we saw him in the NBA playoffs, scoring 35-plus in six of 12 games while shooting 58.5% on 21.9 attempts per game.
These +230 odds imply a 30.30% chance that Booker leads all scorers, which feels a tick too low for a player just as prolific with the basktball as Durant (+170) or Edwards (+220). A $10 bet would pay out $33 in total, which is a nice way to profit on a potential bounce-back effort from Booker.
Best odds: +230 via FanDuel
