Jazz at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Jazz 108

PASS.

Avoid this play. The Timberwolves (-700) should win with ease, but are far too expensive to take here.

BET JAZZ +12.5 (-105).

The Timberwolves are a playoff-caliber team, but they haven’t blown out opponents when favored. Minnesota is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in that same stretch when favored by more than 6 points.

The Jazz are 2-2 ATS in their previous 4 games as a double-digit underdog. They are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 road games as well.

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

Both sides are trending toward the Under here.

The Timberwolves are 2-8 O/U in their last 10 games and have allowed 110 points or fewer in half of those. Utah is 3-4 O/U in its past 7 outings and has allowed no more than 116 points in 5 of those.
