Today in the NBA, the Timberwolves welcome the Jazz in what should be an entertaining match at the Target Center. If you plan to watch Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Minnesota vs Utah match preview.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz
The Timberwolves go into this one with a 21% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Utah Jazz. Kurt Rambis will be sure to keep an eye on the Utah streak (W 2), but the key against Jazz will be containing Deron Williams, Al Jefferson and Andrei Kirilenko. The Timberwolves point differential is -7.7 this season (good for number 29 in the NBA), but not as good as the Utah Jazz’s average winning margin of 3.3 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Jazz will need to play to their strengths and their 12.3 turnovers per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Jerry Sloan’s team is 20-9 this season and today will hope to improve their 9-4 record away from EnergySolutions Arena.
Minnesota have been dominating their opponents this season in the offensive rebounds departement, with a 3.4 offensive rebounds differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 87 field goals attempted average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Jerry Sloan and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Timberwolves’ 5-6 home record.The fans in the Target Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Timberwolves vs Jazz online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
