Minnesota at Utah

The Minnesota Timberwolves are by far the most improved team in the NBA that didn't go out and trade for wins. They have built this team on their draft and it is coming of age as they are over .500 through 43 games. Utah was once a dominating force, but has lost their long-term coach, and then traded away the player that caused him to resign, so they were left empty and are below .500. They have been regressing as the season goes forward at 8-15 in their last 23. Minnesota has a winning record on the road, and has won as many road games this year as they did in the last two years combined. The better team is getting points here, so go with Minnesota.
