Timberwolves at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 118, Jazz 112
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Jazz (+240) have struggled as of late and aren’t worth the risk here.
BET JAZZ +7.5 (-110).
While Utah has struggled as of late, it has played 5 straight road games. At home, it is 2-1 straight up and 3-0 ATS. The Jazz have scored 129 or more points in all 3 home games as well. They should rebound and be able to keep this close.
The Timberwolves could have some tired legs as well, being on the second night of a back-to-back. They are 3-3 ATS on the road and 2-3 ATS as a favorite of 7.5 or more points. Considering those trends, take JAZZ +7.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 234.5 (-110).
The Jazz have been void of that go-to scoring option this season. They have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games and have tallied 105 or fewer points in all 5 of those performances. Utah ranks 29th (43%) in field-goal percentage, so it has been inefficient for most of the season.
While the Timberwolves have scored at will over their last 2 games, they have scored 115 or fewer points in 5 of their last 9. Back UNDER 234.5 (-110).
