NBA Odds & Picks for Timberwolves vs. Jazz: Can Utah Cover Double-Digit Spread?

Timberwolves vs. Jazz Odds

Friday being a day for college football doesn’t mean there isn’t value elsewhere.

In fact, some of the same sharps and big money bettors targeting the spread in Michigan vs. Georgia are hammering the spread and total for a game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Utah Jazz.

This NBA game will get lost in the college football sauce on Friday. That much is clear. But that’s actually better for you, the reader.

Heavy sharp action on games of low magnitude sometimes means you can extract some value without the broader public catching on.

Timberwolves vs. Jazz Sharp Action, Big Money Pick

Odds and information as of Friday afternoon.

The Action Network’s tracking data has shown heavy sharp action on the under and the Jazz spread.

It’s been enough to move both lines substantially.

The total on this game had opened at 225 but is now priced at 222.5. Meanwhile, the spread had started at Jazz -10.5 but is now -12 across the market.

A minority of bettors are putting massive amounts on this game to score fewer than 222.5 points, though it looks like many of these sharps got in closer to 225.

The line is priced as low as 221.5.

Meanwhile, roughly 64% of the bets are on the Jazz to cover, but they make up 88% of the money.

The Jazz will see Donovan Mitchell return from injury on Friday and that’s been priced into the market. That’s juxtaposed with the fact that the Timberwolves are still missing Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell due to COVID.

The 2020 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable for Friday’s game, but he indicated on Thursday that he was planning on playing.

Sharp Action, Big Money Pick: Jazz -12 or better, Under 222.5 or better
