Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Cup Preview
The Timberwolves square off against the Jazz tonight, and I’ll look to back Donte DiVincenzo in this spot.
The Jazz have the fourth-worst adjusted defensive rating in the league, and they are getting obliterated from beyond the arc.
Utah's opponents are taking 49% of their shots from 3-point range; a mind-boggling number.
Donte has gone over this mark in four straight games, and similar players such as Pritchard, Grayson Allen, and Shaedon Sharpe all played well in this spot too.
Considering it’s the Wolves' first Cup game, I’d imagine they know this is their spot to rack up point differential as well.
So, I’m a little less worried about his playing time taking a hit in a potential blowout.
