McDaniels’s hate of the Suns is the exception proving the rule of hate being an unproductive emotion. That hate has played a part in Minnesota’s 7-game winning streak against the Suns. In the 3 matchups this year, McDaniels has cleared this prop each time, snagging 3 steals twice. His loathing of Devin Booker manifests in fast hands. When Anthony Edwards once said, “They got KD, but we got Jaden McDaniels,” the wing found license to swipe at KD’s handle. Bradley Beal is probably on the **** list after he shoved Edwards in mid-air as Edwards went for a dunk to end their last meeting on March 2. Even if wanting to dismiss this hate, then realize McDaniels has cashed this prop in 10 of 17 games since the All-Star Break.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have a seven-game winning streak against the Phoenix Suns and a chance for a season series sweep when they host Phoenix on Friday. The T-Wolves have covered six of those seven. They haven't played since March 24, and the extra four days of rest and a healthy squad should allow Minny's dominance over Phoenix to continue. The Suns are a losing straight-up (12-24) and 15-21-0 ATS road squad, possibly missing Bradley Beal. I'm betting Minnesota's mastery over Phoenix continues on Friday.
