After a slow night on Tuesday, the NBA schedule is back to being full on Wednesday night. This is a chance to make up for some lost time and find the right bets to make around the league.
When looking at the board, there are some intriguing games to look at given matchups and spreads. Here are three major games to keep an eye on heading into the night slate.
Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
The Jazz continue a four-game trip on the East coast by visiting Minnesota as winners of five out of six. The Timberwolves have lost three in a row and have a chance to turn it around a bit at home.
Neither team has lit it up ATS this season. Both Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell are listed as day-to-day with minor injuries but are expected to play. This is just something to monitor going forward. Minnesota has been overachieving a bit and could be coming back down to Earth but they are due for a good performance and there is no better time to do it.

The Jazz are just 5-6 ATS when they are a nine-point favorite. They have been playing close games and Minnesota can keep it close in this one. It all depends on if they can defend Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz point guard is scoring 24.2 points per game. This has been an issue for Minnesota as they struggle to defend the perimeter.
In the end, Towns and Russell make all the difference in this game. If they are on the floor, they can make a huge impact. Towns will be able to compete down low and Rudy Gobert and neutralize that part of the floor.
