Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Predicted Lineups
Phoenix Suns
Head coach Monty Williams is expected to deploy the highly talented backcourt of Chris Paul and Devin Booker, with Mikal Bridges starting at the 3. Jae Crowder will start at power forward, while Javale McGee will continue to deputize for DeAndre Ayton at the 5.
Cameron Johnson and Frank Kaminsky are expected to play some major minutes off the bench in front-court roles, while Cameron Payne will lead the second unit's offense as the back-up point guard. Landry Shamet and Abdel Nader averaged 18 and 13 minutes respectively in the Phoenix Suns' last game, and they will come off the bench as well.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Patrick Beverley will start at shooting guard as a defensive stopper, while D'Angelo Russell will run the offense from the point guard position. Anthony Edwards is the favorite to start at small forward, with Jarred Vanderbilt set to start at the 4.
Karl-Anthony Towns had a dismal outing against the LA Clippers as he only managed to score 8 points. The T-Wolves' big man will be looking to redeem himself tonight when he starts at the center position.
