Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves preview

The Jazz have long been eliminated from playoff contention and are tied for the worst record in the league alongside the Washington Wizards. This means they now have one of the best odds to land the top pick in the draft lottery.

Utah has won just one of the past 10 games. It is coming off of a 145-111 loss to the OKC Thunder on Friday. Brice Sensabaugh led the starters with 25 points, while Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk came off the bench for 27 points. Most of Utah’s starters are out for the game, including Lauri Markkanen.

The Timberwolves are in an interesting position and are currently placed seventh. They could end up as high as fourth or fall down to the seventh spot. With a fully healthy roster, they will look to get the win first and hope other results go their way to confirm a top-six finish.

Minnesota is coming off of a 117-91 win against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. Rudy Gobert led the team with 35 points and 11 rebounds, while Julius Randle had 21 points.

Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting props

Anthony Edwards’ points total is set at 24.5. He is coming off of a rough game where he had just nine points on 4-of-11 shooting. Expect Edwards to compensate on Sunday and score over 24.5 points.

Keyonte George’s points total is set at 18.5. He has not crossed that mark in the past two games. However, with most of the team’s starters out, take a risk and bet on George to have a big game.

The oddsmakers heavily favor the T-Wolves to get a win at home. Minnesota should cover the spread for a win in a game where the team total goes past 232 points.
