The Utah Jazz are coming in with a record that can be considered disappointing at times. The Jazz have a record of 27-28 record overall, but when playing at home the Jazz have posted an 18-11 record.

Utah heads to this game with an offense that has managed to get a total of 117.5 points per game. When it comes to cleaning up the missed shots the Jazz have pulled down 44.3 boards per game, but have ended up getting 25.7 assists per game. On the defensive side of the ball Utah has allowed only 116.6 points per game.

Utah is coming in playing at home in this game. However, the Jazz are just over the five hundred mark when playing at home. Look for the Timberwolves, though, who do not have much in the way of defense and a road team that has struggled quite a bit to continue to have issues in this game here. Look for the Jazz to take advantage of the weaker Timberwolves team and secure the win. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win 121-116.
