Jazz at Timberwolves picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 116, Jazz 102
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Timberwolves (-600) should win with ease, but they are far too expensive to consider on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET TIMBERWOLVES -11.5 (-110).
The Jazz are 1-1 ATS as a double-digit underdog, and they are 1-4 ATS as an underdog of 6.5 points or greater. Utah just hasn't been able to score consistently, tallying 100 points or fewer in 3 of its last 4 games.
Minnesota is 4-1 ATS as a favorite this season and 1-0 ATS as a double-digit favorite. It has the second-best defensive rating in the NBA and should be able to limit a helpless Utah side enough to cover this sizable spread.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 224.5 (-115).
The limited scoring options and lack of tempo will be key here.
Neither side ranks in the top 10 in pace which should reduce scoring chances. Utah has gone Under in 5 of its last 6 games and hasn't allowed more than 120 points in any of those contests.
