NBA (713) UTAH JAZZ VS (714) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

Take: (714) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES


Utah is strong at home, but just 5-9 on the road, yet they are a big road favorite here. This is their 6th road game over the last 8 games. Two weeks ago they were a 13-point home favorite over this young Minnesota team, and lost 110-108. The Wolves have won consecutive games last week for the first time since last April, and four of seven games after starting the season 3-21. The Timberwolves have been better since 7-footer Kevin Love came back, joining Al Jefferson up front and Damien Wilkins. Minnesota is 2-0 SU/ATS against the Jazz this season, dominating the glass (48-36) when they met the last time. The Jazz seemed content with trying to outscore the Timberwolves rather than slow them down and Utah got burned in the end. That is common with teams that rely more on offense than defense. Excellent value here with the improving home dog. Play the Timberwolves.
