MIN vs UTA Dream11 Match Prediction
MIN vs UTA Dream11: They say, revenge is best served cold, but Utah Jazz would like to make it even stevens in a matter of few days when they hit the road for a Western Conference matchup against Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center.
It was Utah Jazz’s second defeat in as many games, but painfully, it was their first in front of home fans. Karl-Anthony Towns can take a whole lot of credit for inflicting that result on Jazz faithful, for he was just phenomenal in that game, in fact, he was so good that he carved out a name for himself in Minnesota Timberwolves history books.
Towns dropped a double-double, but what stood out in that game was his temerity to take shots from 3-point range. As they say, you miss the shots you never take, he ended up taking 15 from beyond the arc. Towns finished with 7 three-pointers.
It’s not easy to withstand the challenge Rudy Gober poses inside the paint, so it was perhaps the tactics to move away from him, and spend time on the borderline.
Utah Jazz’s main problems start from the bench. The 2nd unit is hardly contributing to Jazz’s overall cause, with the likes of Emmanuel Mudiay, Jeff Green and Dante Exum not up to the mark.
