Mike Budenholzer would have been hard-pressed to change up the starting lineup that has won four of five - even if Beal had been able to give it a go. Budenholzer opted to keep the current arrangement the same in what will be a difficult matchup.

The Suns are 3-0 against the T-Wolves this season, a string of losses that comes on the heels of being swept by Minnesota in the first round of last season's playoffs. The teams last played March 2, a 116-98 T-Wolves win in Phoenix as Minnesota's Anthony Edwards scored 44 points.

Julius Randle had 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists, and the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled away for a 124-109 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night in Minneapolis.
