Command Analysis
D'Angelo Russell and Patrick Beverley missed the previous game for Minnesota and their absence seriously affected team's performance. Timberwolves suffered a 110:121 defeat to Atlanta. It was their third consecutive defeat. Before that Finch's men lost to Washington (107:115) and Brooklyn (105:110).
It is uncertain, whether Russell and Beverley will play against Jazz. But they are surely key players for Minnesota and without them Wolves won't have many chances to beat Utah.

Tip and bets
Wolves were not looking great in the most recent match against Atlanta, but overall they are a great team. Timberwolves were not blown out at home for a long time. They even managed to put up a fight to Phoenix, losing by only three points. We think that hosts won't bow to Utah. We are expecting a resistance from the Wolves.
