The Timberwolves come to town Wednesday night and just like the Suns, are currently riding a three game winning streak. One of them is going to have to give. Durant (left thumb) and Dunn (left ankle sprain) are both questionable to play.

[TOO]

The answer is 6.

[Split T]

Suns by 2…Ryan Dunn blocks a potential Ant game winner…if Dunn doesn’t play we lose by 1 on an Ant game winner.

[Superbone]

I don't think we have a chance if Durant doesn't play.

[Mori Chu]

We have trouble with teams that have an elite SG or wing who needs to be shut down. For the Wolves, obviously that is Ant, who pretty regularly cooks us. Dunn would normally be the guy to try to slow him down, but he's out. That plus probably no Durant? This feels like a blowout incoming.

EDIT: My prediction:

Spoiler: show/hide

Wolves by 16.

[Kryptonic]

The answer is 6.

Damnit that was my answer….

Fine, doc rivers sucks…. Suns by 50.

[ShelC]

Wolves are about as bipolar as we are this season. They're a bigger team so I worry about their physicality and rebounding. How will Richards hold up against Gobert. No Dunn on the perimeter for Ant. Who matches up with McDaniels?

[Split T]

Has Dunn been ruled out? I only saw questionable

[Wally_West]

I’m okay with Durant sitting out this one. These dudes be playing football on defense and get away with it. Don’t want to lose a game to a team so close in the standings but also don’t want Durant to miss more time getting murdered by that fat guy Randle.

[Carno]

Durant should sit out one more game. Don't want him coming back one game too early.

[Superbone]

The answer is 6.

I think part of the dance is I have to say you are disqualified. Sorry, pal.

My prediction:

► Show Spoiler

Wolves by 9 if Durant doesn't play. Suns by 2 if he does.

[Superbone]

Has Dunn been ruled out? I only saw questionable

Not as far as I know. Just questionable so far.

[Wally_West]

Good sign that Dunn is now questionable instead of just being out. Tells me his ankle sprain isn’t going to keep him out long. Might be back for the warriors game.

Speaking of warriors, the kid is one. He really tried to keep playing right after it happened. Love the kid!

I love his energy and enthusiasm and that he's always chewing gum. Chewing gum and kicking ass.

[ShelC]

Thought he'd be out since he was on crutches the other night. Would be great if he played but would rather have him 100%.

[Superbone]

Kid wants to play.

[specialsauce]

Hopefully they keep him out one more game. Scientifically proven to prevent injury

[Carno]

Dunn should sit out one more game. Don't want him coming back one game too early.

[Split T]

We should announce it’s a career ending injury until after the trade deadline
