Ayo Dosumnu scores 23 in his second straight start as Wolves win second in a row with Anthony Edwards sidelines with knee inflammation.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ayo Dosunmu anotó 23 puntos y capturó nueve rebotes en su segundo encuentro como titular en lugar del lesionado Anthony Edwards, y los Timberwolves de Minnesota tomaron el control en el segundo cuarto para imponerse con comodidad el miércoles 147-111 al Jazz de Utah.

MINNEAPOLIS (ABC4 Sports) – Brice Sensabaugh reached the 40-point mark for the second time this season, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Utah Jazz from getting blown out by the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday night,

The Jazz had been projected to finish among the bottom teams in the league, putting themselves in position to land one of the top picks in a loaded draft. Utah currently holds the fifth-worst record and is three games away from Brooklyn for a bottom-three spot and a share of the best odds heading into the lottery.

Ever since his trade to the Utah Jazz, Walker Kessler has continued to prove he belongs in the NBA. Kessler became the first rookie in 25 years to record seven-plus blocks in four games, only trailing Tim Duncan‘s five games in 1998.

The Timberwolves have ruled out forward Naz Reid (ankle) for Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. He was previously deemed questionable but will officially sit on the second half of a back-to-back for Minnesota.

Utah is looking to stop its three-game slide with a victory against Minnesota. Wednesday's game is the fourth meeting this season between the two teams.
