The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to continue on winning ways as they host the Utah Jazz in Game 2 of their three-game homestand tonight at Target Center. The Wolves are sixth in the Western Conference standings at 42–27 on the season, while the Jazz are second from bottom at 20–48. Here is our prediction.
From a tough 1–3 stretch on the road, the Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back, defeating closest top-six contenders, Phoenix Suns, by 12 points in Game 1 of their current three-game homestand last night. They shot 51% from the field, including 32% from deep, in a 116–104 win over the Suns.
Last night's victory saw the Wolves secure a three-game cushion over the Suns in the race for a top-six finish. They have now won three of their last four home games and have posted a solid 6–2 record overall in their last eight games at Target Center.
The Utah Jazz's underwhelming performances this season continued in their last game on Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings, falling 116–111 to the Kings. That loss made it three defeats on the bounce for the Salt Lake City-based team.
Overall, they have lost 11 of their last 13 games, including six losses in their last seven road games. Their last five away visits to the Minnesota Timberwolves ended in wide-margin defeats.
