LiontipsMinnesota vs Utah. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Minnesota unexpectedly secured a win at Salt Lake City, beating Utah (101:96). But it's not because Wolves pushed it to the limit, Jazzmen can only blame themselves for that loss. Quin Snyder's team played not as good as they usually play and that's why Timberwolves won.
But despite that victory Minnesota is still the bottom team of the Western conference. This season is lost for Wolves, so they are just playing the season out. By the way, Wolves won more games after they lost any pressure on them.
Utah was looking good on recent away matches. Jazzmen managed to secure a win at Lakers (111:97) and then at Houston (112:89). But these successful matches were overshadowed by the dissapointing defeat to Minnesota.
You shouldn't forget that Utah is playing without Donovan Mitchell, Jazzmen's leader is now on injuried list. Without him Utah plays not so good in offense, so now they turned their attention to defense.

Tip and bets
Utah is thirsty for revenge, but Jazzmen are unlikely to put up many points. Minnesota now plays better on defense, especially at home ground. In their last ten home games they conceded more than 120 points only three times. We believe that Utah won't be able to score much as well.
Our prediction - Utah's total under 120.5 points.
Utah rarely loses in two consecutive games. Every time after they were defeated they got back on track right away. We believe that this game won't be an exception. We expect a confident victory from Quin Snyder's team.
Second prediction - Utah to win with a handicap of (-6.5) points.
