Hornets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 121, Hornets 110

Moneyline

AVOID.

I wouldn’t advise taking Utah (-330) to win straight up at the current odds as the risk outweighs the return you’ll receive if the Jazz win.

Against the spread

Assuming that Ball is going to miss Monday’s contest for the Hornets, JAZZ -7.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager. Utah has won 15 straight home games against Charlotte and the Hornets could struggle to score if Ball is ruled out.

The Jazz are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss.

Over/Under

UNDER 238.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. While the Jazz are 4th in offensive rating and 14th in pace, the Hornets are 29th in offensive rating and 10th in pace.

The Under has hit in 9 of the last 11 meetings between the Hornets and the Jazz in Utah and these teams have only gone Over this total twice in the last 10 meetings.

Charlotte Hornets at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Charlotte Hornets at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (16-16) travel to Vivint Arena Monday to take on the Utah Jazz (20-9). Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hornets vs. Jazz odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Jazz will enter at basically full strength. Utah has been one of the better teams against the spread this season with a 16-13 ATS record.

The Jazz are led by superstar SG Donovan Mitchell and defensive maestro C Rudy Gobert. The Jazz are 8-8 ATS as home favorites.

The Hornets are coming off a 31-point loss (137-106) to the Suns. With SG Terry Rozier and PG LaMelo Ball, the duo of guards didn’t play much of a factor against the West’s top-seeded team.

Charlotte is also covering the spread at a high rate, posting an 18-14 ATS mark this season.

Hornets at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 118, Hornets 106

Money line

PASS.

There isn’t a single instance which taking a -850 regular-season favorite is worth it. However, the Jazz are 8-2 in their last 10 and are a much better team than Charlotte, making the +550 not a great wager either.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ -11.5 (-108) as they’re just the all-around better team. The Hornets rank in the top five in PACE and top 10 in true shooting rate.

They’re a dynamic offensive team, and they’ll be set to battle the league’s sixth-best defensive team. The Jazz have Gobert down low, helping place them sixth in defensive rebounding as well.

The advantages that Utah has in the paint and on the glass should be the key difference. Also, the Jazz shoot the most 3’s in the NBA, and the Hornets rank 22nd in opponents’ 3-point shooting.

The better defense should prevail easily in this one.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 236.5 (-112) as the better of the two sides. It’s also the side getting some juice, so the sportsbooks also believe it to be favorable.

As noted, the Jazz have the sixth-best defensive rating and hold opponents to 105.1 points per game, the seventh-lowest amount. The Hornets have topped 111 points on a top five defense just once this season.

I think defense should reign supreme in this one.

Hornets at Jazz: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 124, Hornets 107

Money line (ML)

The Jazz (-700) sit atop the NBA standings at 24-6, which is 2.5 games ahead of the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. You still cannot risk seven times your potential return against the lowly Hornets (+500), so look to the line instead. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

The JAZZ -12.5 (-115) rolled the Hornets +12.5 (-105) in Buzz City a few weeks ago, picking up a 138-121 win in Charlotte as eight-point favorites Feb. 5 as the Over (224) connected. While the Hornets have been a respectable 7-3-1 ATS across the past 11 games, one of those non-covers is that Utah loss. The Jazz are heads and tails better than the Hornets, and it will show in SLC Monday.

And while these teams met infrequently, it’s important to note the Hornets are 2-10-1 ATS in the past 13 trips to Utah and 1-5 ATS in the past six meetings overall.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 228.5 (-110) is a good play here. The Over is 3-1 in Charlotte’s past four and 11-5-1 in the past 17 overall. That includes the first meeting between these two in the Queen City. The Over is also 6-0 in Charlotte’s past six as a road ‘dog, and 12-5 in the past 17 against winning teams.

The Jazz have hit the Over in four of the past five in SLC, and 10-4 in the past 14 following a straight-up loss.
