Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction and Betting Tips (01.01.2022)

Command Analysis

Utah Jazz

USA

Utah is in a red hot form now. Jazzmen won five matches in a row and beat all of their opponents pretty confidently. Only in the match against Dallas team had some problems (116:120). But after that Quincy Snyder's men managed to beat San Antonio (110:104) and Portland (120:105).

Jazzmen are fortunate, because they have no significant problems in the squad. Only Donovan Mitchell is injured. But even without him Utah is playing well. With Mitchell in the squad team will be even stronger.

Minnesota Timberwolves

USA

Minnesota is still playing without their leaders. Karl Anthony Towns is isolated with coronavirus. He was added to D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards and Jarrett Vanderbilt. The absence of these players seriously affected the Wolves' performance. That's why Timberwolves suffered a defeat to New York (88:96).

In one and a half week Minnesota recorded only one victory. In a home match Finch's men managed to beat Boston (108:103). In other matches they were beaten by Dallas (102:114) and Utah (116:128).

Tip and bets

1.86Total under 116,5 points

Minnesota has problems with offense. The absence of key players decreased team's offensive potential. For example, in the match against the Knicks Wolves failed to score 90 points. We don't think that the weakened Timberwolves will be able to put up a fight to Utah. We don't think that team from Minneapolis will be able to put up a high-scoring performance.

Our prediction - Minnesota: individual total under 106,5 points

1.68Handicap (-8,5) on Utah

Minnesota was easily beaten in recent matches. Few days ago Wolves played at Salt Lake City and lost to the Jazzmen by only 12 points. Finch's men have too many problems, so we are expecting more successful performance from them.

Our second bet - Handicap (-8,5) points on Utah Jazz
