Minnesota has a terrific young offense built around forward Andrew Wiggins, Center Karl-Anthony Towns and Ricky Rubio. Wiggins scored 36 points in the loss to Portland and is averaging 29.8 over the past five games, while Rubio scored 19 points versus Portland for his eight straight double-digit effort. The Timberwolves are 18-7-1 ATS against a team with a winning straight-up record. Utah is battling injury problems. The Jazz is a big favorite but not a great offensive team, second to last in the NBA in scoring. Utah's Derrick Favors (knee) has missed 14 straight games and starting guard Rodney Hood (knee) also is questionable after missing Tuesday's win over Portland. The Jazz are 7-20-1 ATS against the Western Conference and the road team is 13-5 ATS when they clash. Take the points on Minnesota.
