Devon Booker: The 25-year-old is the biggest superstar currently playing for the Phoenix Suns. He is averaging a team-high 25.5 points per game this season and will be high on confidence against the wolves in particular as he had a monster game the last time these two teams met.

From the Suns, Kelly Oubre Jr. (17.2 ppg), Aron Bayens (14.7 ppg), Ricky Rubio (12.5) Dario Saric (10.9) and Franck Kaminsky (10.7ppg) will be clocking significant minutes here.

Timberwolves’ bench is better, while Suns’ have in-form players in their starting five. Pick the likes of Tyler Johnson, Josh Okogie and Keita Bates-Diop and Mikal Bridges, as all of them can be a good value for their points.
If you are playing small league, Devin Booker and Karl-Anthony Towns are the safe choices, but Keppy Oubre Jr and Ricky Rubio can be the ultimate difference-maker if you are ready to take some risks.
