Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Timberwolves' previous meeting was held at home against another unexpected leader of the Western Conference - Oklahoma. The team played another quality game in defense and achieved a 106:103 victory. Rudy Gober made four blocked shots and scored 17 points and 16 rebounds. Karl-Anthony Towns also had a double-double - 13 points and ten rebounds. Anthony Edwards had 21 points, Troy Brown 17.

Minnesota has lost only four games out of 17 and is still top in defense, allowing only 106.2 points per game on average.

The Jazz beat New Orleans twice at home (105:100 and 114:112) and started the road stretch with a game in Memphis. The Will Hardy team failed to beat the Grizzlies. Moreover, they lost by all accounts - 91:105. John Collins scored 17 points, and Jordan Clarkson and Simone Fontecchio scored 12. The rest of the team had less than 10 points.

Overall, Utah has improved a bit lately, winning four of their previous nine games, but are still low in the standings - 12th in the West with a 6-12 record.

Minnesota is the strongest team in the West. Utah is one of the outsiders of the conference, also left without Lauri Markkanen, one of its leaders. Most likely, the Timberwolves will have no problems achieving a positive result in the upcoming game. We bet on Minnesota, as well as the under. The Timberwolves have one of the best defenses of the season. Besides, the participation of Anthony Edwards - the main scorer of Chris Finch's team - is questionable.
