Three straight games of 20 or more points have lifted LaMelo Ball to 17.7 a night. And that form shapes our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz prediction for this NBA clash at Target Center on Sunday. The Wolves host a Jazz side sitting at 1-8, which suits a guard with a 28.0 usage rate.
Minnesota beat New Orleans 115-109 on Friday, with Ball scoring 22 points and adding eight assists in 35 minutes. The Wolves have now won three in a row, and Ball posted 34 against Milwaukee and 20 against Houston in the two games before that, well above this line.
Utah, meanwhile, lost 112-100 at Dallas on Friday, recording a seventh straight defeat. What’s more, Jazz concedes 118.2 points a night, which is exactly the kind of defence that they should concede against Ball who currently boasts the highest usage rating in Anthony Edwards’ absence.
Further cementing our prediction is the fact that Ball has averaged 23.5 points across six career meetings with the Jazz, topping 17.5 on five of those nights. Currently, LaMelo takes 13.6 shots in 27.5 minutes per game, and has gone past 17.5 in four of the last five outings. 18 points is well within reach.
