Why Bet on the Utah Jazz?

The Jazz will try to keep the momentum going on the road after blowing past Denver in a double-digit win on Wednesday. Collin Sexton impressed everyone with his debut performance in a Utah Jersey. The 23-year-old scored 20 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 21 minutes. He was one of the seven players that hit double-digit scores by the end of the game.

Utah shot 50% from the field and hit 16 of 38 attempts from downtown. They were on fire and kept the Nuggets on their toes the entire time. Will Hardy’s men shot well from short and medium distances, hitting 57.8% of their shots from the area Furthermore, it’s worth noting that the squad maintained consistent ball rotation and recorded 27 assists in 48 minutes. Although they come in as the underdogs, the revamped roster showcased its firepower in their opening game.

Why Bet on the Minnesota Wimberwolves?

Meanwhile, the hosts look to build on a positive start over the Thunder. Rudy Gobert stood strong for his team and scored 23 points, securing 16 rebounds on 10 of 15 shooting. D’Angelo Russell provided him with much-needed offensive support and scored 20 points, while Jaden McDaniels stepped up and drained 19 points. The new lineup seems to be working well for head coach Chris Finch.

By the end of their first 2022-23 NBA season game, the Timberwolves penned a 109.7 offensive and a 103.9 defensive rating. They worked more efficiently on the defensive side and should have no problem holding off an offense-heavy Utah lineup. Minnesota also recorded 62.0 total rebounds in their previous contest which is good for a sixth-best record in the league right now. Expect the side to take over this side of the clash with Gobert’s expertise at their disposal.

Jazz vs. Timberwolves Expert Betting Prediction

The revamped Jazz squad blew away the Nuggets in an impressive win on Wednesday. We witnessed the raw talent as they looked determined to win the game. The Timberwolves will be disappointed that they let the Thunder claw their way back to the game, but they maintained a lead to finish them off. It was a tough shooting night for Minnesota as they shot 41% from the field. On the other hand, the Jazz looked comfortable in front of their home crowd, but that performance will be tough to replicate as they struggled to win road games last season. With that, the Wolves get a slight advantage, while the visitors have a solid shot at covering the spread and keeping the scoreline close.
