The Phoenix Suns face elimination in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs as they trail the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-0 heading into Game 4 on Sunday. The Suns opened as 35-point favorites over the Timberwolves, but that line has climbed to -45 as the series has progressed. Minnesota has been a surprise in the playoffs, winning the first three games by an average of 14.7 points. The Timberwolves are led by center Rudy Gobert, who is averaging 15.0 points, 15.7 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game in the series. Anthony Edwards is also playing well, averaging 22.3 points per game. The Suns are led by Devin Booker, who is averaging 25.0 points per game in the series. Chris Paul is also playing well, averaging 14.3 points and 10.0 assists per game. The Suns will need to find a way to slow down Gobert and Edwards if they want to win Game 4 and avoid a sweep. The Timberwolves have been playing with great energy and confidence, and the Suns will need to match that intensity if they want to extend the series.
