Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves preview

The Jazz aren’t technically out of playoff contention yet, but they very well might be. They have the worst record in the league and have lost eight games in a row.

Utah comes into this one on the back of a 126-118 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Jordan Clarkson led all scorers with 19 points off the bench. Kyle Filipowski had a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Lauri Markkanen and Isaiah Collier had 16 points each.

The Timberwolves are in the seventh spot but are in a fierce battle with the Golden State Warriors for the last guaranteed playoff seed. Both teams are on seven-game winning streaks and Minnesota has won eight of its past 10 games.

Minnesota is coming off a 118-111 win against the Orlando Magic on Friday. The T-Wolves trailed heading into the final period but a 40-24 quarter gave them the win. Anthony Edwards led the team with 28 points, while Julius Randle added 22 points.

Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting props

Lauri Markkanen’s points total is set at 16.5, which is under his season average of 19.1 points. This seems like a safe bet to go over.

Anthony Edwards’ points total is set at 27.5. He has crossed that mark in the past two matchups and should be able to do so against the struggling Jazz as well. Bet on the over.

Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Timberwolves to get a lopsided win. While we expect them to win, they might struggle to cover the spread. This should be a fairly high-scoring game with the team total going past 231.5 points.
