The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Utah Jazz in a critical game for Minnesota’s playoff hopes. With a win, Minnesota would clinch a top-six seed in the Western Conference and avoid the play-in tournament. Tipoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET, and the Timberwolves get a boost as Anthony Edwards will indeed play after having his 18th technical foul rescinded. He’d initially been suspended for Minnesota’s season finale. That’s good news for the Timberwolves as Edwards is enjoying the best scoring season of his career at 27.4 points per game, and he scored 44 points two games ago against Memphis.
The Timberwolves are 23-point favorites in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, priced at -4762 (risk $4,762 to win $100) on the money line. The Jazz are +1570 (risk $100 to win $1,570) underdogs on the money line, and the over/under comes in at 232.5.
