The Jazz are coming off a 113-91 loss at Oklahoma City on Thursday while Minnesota had a 132-129 OT win over Washington last night. That extra time could come up costly for Minnesota tonight against a Utah team that is in a playoff chase and needs this win. The Jazz are tied with Dallas for the final spot in the West and should come out aggressive against a Minnesota team that should have some dead legs after last night’s long road game.
