Timberwolves vs Jazz ATS Pick: Timberwolves -6
The Timberwolves downed the Jazz by 19 in Utah on Saturday, and they should be able to cover the six-point spread on the road as well.
Although Rudy Gobert is once again questionable for Minnesota, the Wolves were able to easily get things done without him, scoring 119 points while limiting the Jazz to 100 points. Utah is also going through some injuries. Jordan Clarkson will be out for the third straight game while leading scorer Lauri Markkanen is also questionable.
With two of Utah’s top three leading scorers possibly out, the Jazz are likely to have a tough time scoring once again. Minnesota leads the league in defense, holding teams to 106.6 points a game, and in its last five, it held teams to 108.8 points. The Jazz have averaged 95 points a game in their three games with Minnesota, and with them losing four of their last five, the Wolves should be able to take advantage and win their third straight.
Timberwolves vs Jazz Player Prop Pick: Anthony Edwards Over 31.5 Points (-117)
Anthony Edwards has stepped up the scoring duties since Karl-Anthony Towns went out, averaging 31.2 points in his last five games, and that shouldn’t slow down against Utah. Edwards has scored at least 32 points in two of his last five games, nearly hitting the mark against the Jazz on Saturday with 31 points.
The Jazz have not seemed to be able to slow Edwards, who averages 31 points against them in two games this season. He has scored it at a 27.7-point clip since the All-Star break. With Minnesota likely ready for another big night offensively, expect Edwards to lead the way against Utah.
