We have a great situational spot here as a well-rested Utah team (off a blowout win over Portland Tuesday and rested last two nights) is catching a Minnesota team playing back-to-back nights, traveling and also playing in altitude. Minnesota is just 3-9 SU/ATS in their last 12 games and they have been lacking intensity of the defensive side allowing 115 ppg in those 12. They showed their tiredness last night in the fourth quarter vs Portland getting outscored 25-11 in a 7-point non-covering loss. Despite some injuries, Utah is on a 4-1 SU/ATS run as they are in the all-important fight to get the No. 4 seed in the West. Defense has not been an issue for them as they are allowing just 95.5 ppg in their last 11.
