The Minnesota Timberwolves (6-4) and Utah Jazz (3-6) meet Monday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NBA odds around the Timberwolves vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.
Kessler has already missed several preseason and early-regular-season games, and in his absence, the team has leaned on Nurkic, who has started over 400 games in his 12-year NBA career. Additionally, the team has turned to Kevin Love, the former NBA champion, to soak up minutes as an undersized center.
Markkanen was solid efficiency-wise on offense, especially from three (4/7), but he was pretty bad defensively and was targeted most of the night. But he was far from the reason the Jazz lost, and so he deserves credit for a good game against a very good Wolves team.
