Heat at Jazz: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Jazz 115, Heat 105
Money line (ML)
JAZZ (-280) feels like the right bet as Utah continues to ride a hot streak. The Jazz have the best record in the NBA and they’ve won 11 straight home games.
They have a top-six offense and the No. 3 scoring defense in the league and should be able to handle business against a Heat team that has won four straight games coming into Saturday.
Look for the Jazz to use their size and defensive prowess to win this game, likely by double digits.

Against the spread (ATS)
The JAZZ -6.5 (-110) are a good bet as they have covered in five-straight games. Not only do they have the best record in the NBA, but they have been a great home team this year, going 10-3 against the spread in 13 home games.
Look for that trend to continue as they will take on a Heat team that has covered the spread just three times in their last 10 contests.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 216.5 (-110) is the right play in this game given how well the Utah offense has played this season. They are averaging 115.1 points per game this season, sixth-most in the NBA. They are the No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the league and that leads to a ton of second-chance points. As long as the Heat can score around 105 points, the over should hit with relative ease in this matchup.
