Phoenix Suns vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Prediction
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal and big Jusuf Nurkic practiced Friday heading into Saturday’s rematch against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center to begin a three-game homestand.
The 27-year-old Richards, who is averaging 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season, could be the Suns' new starting center.
The Suns have produced a plus-8 point differential, and are outscoring opponents 2.6 points per 100 possessions. Those numbers are since Beal and Jusuf Nurkic were removed from the starting lineup entering their 109-99 win at Philadelphia on Jan. 6.
The Suns (22-21) ended a five-game road trip with a 108-84 win Wednesday over a depleted Brooklyn Nets team. Booker scored 32 points and Durant added 24 in the win. The Suns will begin a three-game homestand Saturday night against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center looking to build off winning three of their last four games.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle could be part of an eventual trade involving Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. Randle drew Miami's interest
The relationship between Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards is a sign that the NBA's veteran stars are open to mentoring the future faces of the league.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Anthony Davis had 42 points and 23 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers used a huge first quarter from the All-Star center to build a 23-point lead before beating the Charlotte Hornets 112-107 on Monday night for their fourth straight win.
James Harden (24), Norman Powell (23) and Ivica Zubac (25) all scored 20+ points in the loss, snapping LA’s two-game win streak. Kawhi Leonard played a season-high 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block.

The Miami Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler again, this time indefinitely. Follow along for the latest on his future.
Now look down the court tonight. The Los Angeles Clippers are on pace to go 52-29-1 ATS this season, which would be the best mark since at least 2017-18 if not for two teams exceeding that pace this season, the Grizzlies and the Cavs with the Thunder also matching the Clippers.
