Paul Bovi, Vegas Insider/Panorama Sports, has this game as his NBA play of the day. This is his writeup:

Utah exorcised an early season loss to the Wolves with a 29 point victory earlier this month. The Wolves shot 37% from the field with Al Jefferson having an uncharacteristically poor outing with 5 of 15 shooting and only 11 points. The Jazz road woes are well documented. Anrdre Kirilenko will sit it out today as will Mehmet Okur, which looms large since Al Jefferson has to guard the 6'11" center on the outside due to his long range shooting process, thus leaving the middle to be exploited. Not so today. The Wolves show pride here and hang tight with the Jazz who are only 16-21 on the road. Take the wood.

He also has an over bet:
The Cavs were 27 of 74 in Detroit yesterday as they were run out of the building. The bricks were infectious as LeBron went 4 of 17, Z was 5 of 16, Sasha 2 of 8 and Wally 3 of 9. Sharpshooter Daniel Gibson came back from a lengthy injury and could manage only 18 minutes without scoring. Improvement here from Gibson and the Cavs overall. Philly loves to run and you will see a lot of that in the first half. Both teams need the game for playoff positioning so I can see this one getting a little tight in the 4th quarter. First half goes over.
