Heat vs. Jazz PicksPoint Spread Pick for Heat vs. Jazz Utah Jazz to cover. (4 Units)
The Heat have lost five of their last six road games, while the Jazz split their last six home games. Utah has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 123 points per game at home, while making over 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws. Their ball movement has been good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 12 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. The Heat aren’t very good defensively, and they played worse in recent games, giving up more than 125 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Jazz. Take Utah to cover the spread.
