Timberwolves vs Jazz Prediction & Pick
While both sides were victorious in their latest outings, the Jazz did some things better than the Timberwolves. For starters, Utah proved to be more reliable on the perimeter, shooting 39% from three-point range while Minnesota shot 25%.
The Jazz were also more careful with the ball, finishing with 13 turnovers and 12 fouls whereas the T-Wolves tallied 20 and 23, respectively. Considering that Utah made 91.7% of its free-throw attempts against LA, it's clear that Minnesota can't afford a si milar undisciplined performance.
I see the Jazz taking advantage of the Timberwolves' gaffes en route to another victory.
Final Score Prediction:'Jazz: 103 | Timberwolves: 99
Timberwolves vs Jazz Best Bet
I see the total going over 187.5 points as this matchup's best bet. Neither side had issues scoring in their respective Summer League debuts, each finishing with 102+ points. In fact, both teams' games finished with more than 187.5 points by the time the final whistle blew.
With both squads feeling good about themselves, I see the offenses continuing to fire on all cylinders, resulting in the Over being reached tonight.
