Nets at Jazz picks and predictionsPrediction

Jazz 114, Nets 106

PASS.

There is better value on the Jazz (-145) to cover the spread.

BET JAZZ -2.5 (-105).

While both teams are a combined 3-17 over their last 20 games, the Jazz have played better at home, giving them a slight advantage. They are 3-1 ATS as favorites this season. A win nearly guarantees a cover with this slim a spread, giving the spread better value than the moneyline.

Brooklyn is just 6-17 on the road this season, while each of their last 11 losses has come by at least 3 points.

BET UNDER 228.5 (-115).

As it stands, this is the second-highest total in the Nets’ last 10 games. They have scored 103 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games, including each of their last 3, while allowing 107 or fewer in back-to-back games.

The Jazz have hit the Under in 2 of their last 4. They have scored 116 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4.

In a matchup between two teams that rank towards the bottom of the NBA, sloppiness and low scoring are to be expected.
