Timberwolves at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Jazz 107

Moneyline

The Timberwolves (-350) are a risky play, costing 3 1/2 times your potential return. That’s a crazy bet, but it is especially so if Gobert, a.k.a. “The Stifle Tower”, cannot play against his former team. Gobert missed the front end of the set, and although Naz Reid filled in admirably, it makes Minnesota super risky.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The TIMBERWOLVES -8 (-110) are worth playing lightly, even if Gobert is deemed unable to go. He missed Saturday’s game, yet Minnesota was still able to take care of business. If he is active, then go a little more aggressively.

The Jazz +8 (-110) are in a nosedive, dropping 4 of the past 5 games outright, while going just 3-12 SU. More importantly, Utah is an awful 5-10 ATS in the past 15 games.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-108) is worth a look in this rematch.

The Under cashed in the front end of the set, although Minnesota certainly did its part with 119 points scored. The Over is 5-1-1 in the past 7 games for the Jazz, while the Timberwolves have ended up going high on the total in 3 of the past 4 outings, and 6 of the previous 9 contests.

Timberwolves at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 122, Jazz 117

Moneyline

In 2 November meetings in Minnesota, the Timberwolves won both games by at least 11 points.

The Timberwolves are a solid team on the road this season at 22-13 and 6-2 in their last 8.

The Jazz have been good at home. They are 20-13 at Delta Center, meaning 20 of their 29 total wins have been at home.

They did lose 4 straight home games between Feb. 12 and Feb. 22 but have won 3 of their last 4 there.

But the Jazz have not won consecutive games since winning 2 in a row Feb. 4 and 6. They are 4-6 when playing on no rest and 5-9 when playing with a rest disadvantage.

The Wolves should win this game, but it isn’t worth any bet at -350 unless you include it in a parlay bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz, though, are a very reliable ATS bet at home they are 22-11 ATS at home this season.

Minnesota is 18-17 ATS on the road.

The Jazz are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.

Minnesota is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games and 2-3 ATS in its last 5 wins.

BET JAZZ +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The totals for the first 2 meetings this season were 218 and 191.

However, the Jazz give up points. Opponents average 120.8 points per game against them and have scored 119 or more in 4 consecutive games.

The Wolves have allowed 110 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games.

BET OVER 223.5 (-110).

Timberwolves at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 125, Timberwolves 108

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Jazz are rolling and playing too well to pick the Wolves to win, especially missing their top players. And, having to bet more than eight times what you can win means it isn’t worth a money line bet on the Jazz.

Look at the spread and the total for value.

Against the spread

The Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games but they have only covered the spread twice in their last 9 losses. They suffered a 32-point loss to the Jazz already.

The Jazz have won 13 of their last 15 games but have covered the spread in only 7 of those 15 games. 8 of their 13 wins in the last 15, though, have been by at least 11 points.

The Jazz are too good and the Wolves are too shorthanded for this to be a competitive game.

Take the JAZZ -11.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The last two games for the Timberwolves have stayed Under the projected total, but 8 of the previous 11 games went Over the projection.

Only 4 of the last 10 games for the Jazz have hit the Over. They have scored 120 points or more in seven of their last 11 games, which means the Wolves would only need to pass the century mark.

Their first matchup had a 240-point total.

Take OVER 221.5 (-110).

Minnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (15-16) travel to Salt Lake City Thursday for a 9 p.m. ET game against the Utah Jazz (21-9) at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Below, we look at the Timberwolves vs. Jazz odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Minnesota had its four-game winning streak snapped its last time out in a 114-102 loss at the Dallas Mavericks as 2-point road favorites Tuesday.

The T-Wolves are 4-3 straight-up (SU), 4-3 ATS and 6-1 O/U with the 14th-ranked non-garbage time net rating (minus-2.1 points per 100 possessions), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Utah broke a two-game slump Tuesday by beating the Charlotte Hornets 112-102 at home but failed to cover as 12.5-point favorites.

Over the past two weeks, the Jazz are 5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS and 3-3-1 O/U with the third-best non-garbage time net rating (plus-13.1 points per 100 possessions), per CTG.

The Jazz pummeled the T-Wolves 136-104 in their first meeting this season, Dec. 8 to snap a three-game losing skid to Minnesota.

Timberwolves at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 118, Timberwolves 105

Money line

PASS on the money line. I love the Jazz here, but at -850, there just isn’t any value.

Against the spread

BET on the JAZZ -11.5 (-108) as the best value in this game.

The Wolves are coming off a disappointing 12-point loss to the Doncic-less Mavs. The Mavs were down 3 of their 4 top scorers and still crushed Minnesota.

Edwards is showing his importance to this team as they struggle without him.

With KAT going against Rudy Gobert, I expect a lockdown performance from the DPOY. The Jazz are the far healthier side as well. They’re 1 of just 2 teams in the top 6 in offensive and defensive rating.

The Jazz beat the Wolves 136-104 in their last meeting. Donovan Mitchell had 36. They’ll against have no answer for the star guard.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 227.5 (-108) as this is just too many points. The Jazz are averaging a league-most 115 per game.

However, the Wolves aren’t even hitting 110. With Utah also having a top-10 defense, and the Wolves being down a top-two scoring threat, I expect there to be points, just not this many.

Timberwolves at Jazz: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 115, Timberwolves 108

Money line (ML)

The Jazz are in their home opener and the Wolves are playing on the road for the first time this season. Utah was stellar at home last season, going 21-10, while Minnesota was 11-21 on the road (before the bubble. It is early in the season, but Utah is the more talented team and won’t want to lose their first game at home. Take JAZZ (-400).

Against the spread (ATS)

Both teams won their season opener and covered the spread as favorites. Neither team was good against the spread last season. Minnesota had the league’s lowest cover percentage at 37.1% while Utah wasn’t much better at 47.4%.

The Wolves were 16-15 ATS on the road and Utah was 13-16 ATS at home. We don’t have much to go by this season, only one game in, but those trends from last season are enough to feel good about going WOLVES +9.5 (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams’ season openers went Under. Last season, both teams went Over more than Under. Minnesota had a 56.2% Over percentage and Utah had an Over percentage of 54.5%. That said, the season is very early and teams do not yet have the rhythm they will have later on in the year. This total feels high. Take UNDER 228.5 (-110).
