The Utah Jazz have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost four of their last five games and they will be looking to bounce back here after getting beaten by the red-hot Pistons in a 114-103 road defeat on Wednesday. Svi Mykahiliuk led the team with 28 points on 10 of 16 shooting, Lauri Markkanen added 25 points while Keyonte George chipped in with 19 points and six assists.

Timberwolves vs Jazz Prediction
The Jazz are still playing without Walker Kessler and Georges Niang, while the Timberwolves are keeping eyes on Anthony Edwards and Terrence Shannon Jr who are both questionable. The Jazz have shown glimpses of their potential at home, but they have lost four of their first five road games and I think that trend continues here with the Timberwolves proving to be too strong on defense. The line is hefty, but the Jazz have struggled during this road trip and I think the Timberwolves win comfortably in this one.
