The Jazz have been performing poorly on the defensive end, ranking among the worst teams in the league in both points allowed per game and defensive efficiency. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, might experience a decline in their defensive performance. With the Jazz playing at home, they are expected to put up a strong offensive effort. This game is likely to turn into a high-scoring shootout.
