Jazz at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 131, Jazz 102

Moneyline

PASS.

The Timberwolves (-5000) will wrap up their regular season with a victory Sunday, but we’ve got to take the bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -23.5 (-110).

Minnesota enters the final game of the regular season tied with the Golden State Warriors for the sixth seed and is looking to avoid the play-in tournament. With a home matchup against the last-place Jazz, this is a game the Timberwolves simply can’t afford to drop. Utah allows a league-worst 121.3 points per game, and its defense has shown little resistance down the stretch. Minnesota has covered in 6 of its last 8, while the Jazz are just 3-6-1 ATS over their last 10. The Timberwolves also have the motivation edge, facing a much weaker opponent than the Warriors, who take on the LA Clippers Sunday. It’s a big spread, but Minnesota has the firepower to handle business and close the regular season strong. Take the Timberwolves to cover at home.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-110).

The Jazz have gone Over in 5 straight games, mainly due to their inability to stop anyone — allowing a staggering 140.2 points per game over that stretch. It’s clear they’re just playing out the season with minimal effort on the defensive end. Meanwhile, Minnesota has averaged 129 points over its last 2 games. Expect the Timberwolves to light it up and push this one Over Sunday afternoon.
