Injuries could play a big part in the outcome of tonight's game, but regardless - this is a game we should win. Utah is coming off a close victory yesterday over the Hawks - so fatigue may be a factor. Should note though that some major rotational guys for the Jazz rested last night - and they got that win largely on the strength of 69 points from Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, Micah Potter and Johnny Juzang. The Timberwolves are 6-4 in the last ten - the Jazz 3-7. In the last ten matchups between these two squads - it's been an even 5-5.
The Timberwolves are favored by 8 points.
Injury Report:
Minnesota - Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Clark are Out. Daishen Nix is in Iowa. And here's where it gets tricky. Rudy Gobert, Kyle Anderson and Monte Morris are all Questionable.
Utah - The Jazz have yet to submit their report to the league office. In last night's two point win over the Hawks - Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Kris Dunn, Kenneth Lofton Jr. and Darius Bazley were all inactive - so there's a question mark over all of them. Most notably, Markkanen has now missed 5 games with an injury - but there's talk that it's possible he could make his return tonight. Note: this has since been updated at the NBA website - and is laid out a couple posts down from here.
Cheers Froobs and Go Timberwolves!
