Jazz vs Timberwolves Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the end of a back-to-back, so we could see a sluggish performance from a squad that’s been hit or miss this season. However, the Timberwolves are the better, healthier team, and they’ve won five straight against the Jazz. The Timberwolves covered four of those five wins. The Utah Jazz are still one of the more injured teams in the league, and they’ve failed to cover their last three games as big underdogs. It’s hard for the Jazz to overcome all of these injuries. The Timberwolves are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament, and games like this are a gift to do just that. The line isn’t crazy. Give me the Timberwolves in a comfortable road win.
