Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 29-27
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been heavily criticized for the high price they paid to acquire Rudy Gobert, but the franchise has managed to turn its season around in recent weeks while still being without Karl-Anthony Towns.
Minnesota is in the middle of a fierce battle with the Dallas Mavericks for sixth place in the Western Conference. Now that the team led by Luka Dončić has added none other than Kyrie Irving, the Timberwolves know they can’t slow down if they want to hold on to that spot and avoid the Play-In tournament.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 27-28
The Utah Jazz are one of the most interesting teams to watch heading into this week’s trade deadline.
While the team is in a Play-In tournament spot, it is expected that the franchise’s top brass will trade several veterans from the roster. Mike Conley and Jarrett Vanderbilt are two players who have been mentioned frequently in trade rumors, and point guard Jordan Clarkson is not ruled out of being traded if a very tempting offer arrives in the hands of general manager Danny Ainge.
JefeBet Prediction
Utah has a 2-1 advantage over Minnesota in the duels between the two in the current season of the best basketball in the world.
An important fact is that at least 226 points have been scored in the three previous matchups. The Timberwolves and the Jazz have a very strong offense every time they face each other, and it is precisely for that reason that at JefeBet we believe that the over will be covered once again. Plus, in this game, Anthony Edwards and Lauri Markkanen are expected to shine.
Prediction: Over.
