Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (6-7) welcome the Utah Jazz (10-4) to Wells Fargo Center Sunday. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers have rebounded following their 0-3 start to the season, but they haven’t maintained a high level of play, losing 3 of their last 5 games. Philly has scored 100 or fewer in 2 of their last 3.

The 76ers are without G James Harden, which has meant G Tyrese Maxey and MVP candidate C Joel Embiid have had to step up. The duo combines to average 52.5 points per game.

As for the Jazz, they have been one of the most surprising teams so far this season. Utah sits atop the Western Conference and is 5-4 on the road this season.

It is led by F Lauri Markkanen, who is averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting 53% from the field. The real strength comes in its depth as 6 players average double figures for Utah.

Jazz at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 114, 76ers 110

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Utah, and the market is still underrating them. But, I would prefer to get the 3.5 points here.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ +3.5 (-110).

The Jazz are 10-4 against the spread (ATS) this season. They are 6-3 ATS as the road side as well. Lastly, Utah is 9-1 ATS as an underdog, all of which point to the Jazz as the better play.

The 76ers have the 10th-best net rating, which does suggest they are better than their record indicates. However, the Jazz sit 5th in net rating and have the 2nd-best offensive rating in the NBA.

Philadelphia hasn’t been great lately and also isn’t great on the glass, ranking 15th in defensive rebounding rate, which should give a strong advantage to Utah, which sits 6th in offensive rebounding rate.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 218.5 (-115).

The 76ers play at the 3rd-slowest pace, which is a key reason why this total is lower than most. Philadelphia has scoring threats like Maxey and Embiid, and the Jazz are both active on the glass and have the 11th-highest pace in the NBA.

Utah is 5-5 O/U as an underdog, and Philadelphia is 5-4 O/U as a favorite.

Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (14-11) host the Utah Jazz (17-7) at Wells Fargo Center Thursday for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Jazz vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Both teams are playing in the second of a back-to-back with Utah clubbing the Minnesota Timberwolves 136-104 and Philly holding off the Charlotte Hornets 110-106 Wednesday.

The Jazz have won six of their last seven games but have only covered in two of those wins. Utah is 13-11 ATS and 13-11 O/U with the second-best net rating. The Sixers have five of their last eight games but covered just three. Philly is 11-13-1 ATS and 9-14-2 O/U with the 10th-best net rating.

The Sixers are 4-2 overall against the Jazz when both Sixers big Joel Embiid and Jazz big Rudy Gobert play. Embiid leads in points per game 23.8-15.0, rebounds per game 12.8-11.3 and blocks per game 2.3-1.5 in those contests.

These teams have exchanged victories in each of the last six meetings with Utah winning the first of this season 120-85 Nov. 16. However, the Sixers have covered seven of their last nine games versus the Jazz.

Jazz at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 111, Jazz 105

Money line

SPRINKLE on the 76ERS (+125) with a tiny wager but hit Philly’s spread harder. Much of Utah’s success is predicated it having the most dominant interior presence on the floor,  but Embiid is that guy in this matchup.

Embiid’s on/off court efficiency differential grades 18 percentage points higher for bigs than Gobert’s according to CleaningTheGlass.com. Gobert cannot play as much help defense and it’s harder for him to get easy putbacks with Embiid on the floor.

Philly’s defense also does a good job making Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell work for his points. Spida has a 42.6% true shooting percentage (.357/.236/.667) with a minus-21 net rating in nine career games versus the Sixers. Mitchell has made less than 40% of his shots in six of those games.

Again, the plan is to bet more on Philly getting points but I “LEAN” to the 76ERS (+125). 

Against the spread

Definitely BET 76ERS +3.5 (-107) heavier than, or instead of, Philly’s money line because the Sixers are 7-3-1 ATS as a home underdog over the past three seasons with a plus-5.2 spread differential.

More importantly, there’s a lot separating these two sides so it’s just wiser to take the points with Philly.

Over/Under

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Under 216.5 (-110) because the house has been encouraging action on the Under and its cashed in 11 of the last 16 Jazz-76ers meetings.

A vast majority of the market is backing the Over according to pregame.com so you have a “fade the public” angle here. However, simply put, I just don’t like either side of the total enough to get down. PASS.
