Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction 

The Timberwolves have a lot to play for as they can finish anywhere between fourth and eighth seed in the West. The Timberwolves are also hot lately with wins in eight of their last 10 games and seven of those wins were covers. The Jazz have been awful and aren’t playing anybody with a heartbeat. This has the potential to get ugly. However, we just don’t see lines in the 20s in the NBA, and I can’t lay this number. Over the last month, the Timberwolves are 4-4 ATS as a double-digit favorite and two of those failed covers were outright losses. It’s Jazz and the points or pass for me.
