Good evening to all. Two days after their first showdown this season, Wolves and Jazz are back in contention, this time at the Minneapolis Target Center on 03: 00 Thursday morning.
Two nights ago the Wolves forced the Jazz to their first home defeat (102-112) this year, thanks to Towns' incredible appearance (29p / 7m) and overall a fantastic 4 season where Ryan Saunders's team succeeded. 36 points and just accepted 24.
The Wolves have started the regular season unexpectedly well, with a record of 8-6 in 7th place in the western region. At the same time, apart from the Towns that we expected to have a terrible year, the one who has achieved the explosive explosion is Wiggins, on whom it seemed that all hope was lost to bring to the floor the superstar potential he had when he entered the league. For today, however, the Canadian guard-fowrard is given as a doubtful along with Layman and Okogie and if none of the 3 fights, an issue is created in the wings for the hosts.
In the Jazz camp now, the wolves' defeat was the second consecutive defeat against Memphis. 8-5 the record of Mormons, but they do not perform well on the parquet floor or perhaps as well as they can. The two issues bamboozled so far that need improvement are first the productivity of the second unit and then the shot selection by Quin Snyder's team.
As we predicted a second match between the two opponents in two days and I find it difficult to beat the worst team or better the less talented. So I'll pick the Jazz doubles who remind me that last time they made a series of 2 defeats they responded with winning results against the Sixers and the Bucks.
