Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves can play with their food at times and they did lose to the Jazz a couple of weeks ago. Still, it’s hard to take the Jazz seriously when you see their injury report and the fact they’ve lost nine of their last 10 games. You can only ask so much of a team when they’re down so many rotation players and the Jazz are at that point. The Timberwolves are as healthy as they’ve been in quite some time and they’re starting to make their move with wins in eight of their last 10 games. Assuming the Timberwolves stay on this path, this should be a comfortable win for the home team. I’ll lay the points.
