Utah Jazz at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah Jazz (45-26) are on the East Coast Monday night for a road matchup with the Brooklyn Nets (37-34) – a key game for both teams with the playoffs approaching. Tip-off from Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Team vs. Team odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Jazz have won three straight games, beating the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls in the last week. They covered the spread in each game, winning each by at least 15 points. Utah is fourth in the Western Conference standings, 3.5 games back of the Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 2 seed. G Donovan Mitchell has been on a tear lately, scoring 73 points in his last two games and at least 29 points in each of his last three.

The Nets have also been playing well recently, winning five of their last six games. That stretch includes wins over the Knicks, Philadlephia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers, but their one loss came to the Mavericks, 113-111. PG Kyrie Irving is ineligible to play in this one becasue of local COVID-19 rules, his third consecutive missed game.

Jazz at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 115, Nets 110

Money line

The Jazz are playing the second night of a back-to-back, which makes this an even tougher matchup. However, they won’t have to face Irving, who’s been on fire in recent games after dropping 50 points and 60 points in two of his last three starts.

The Nets are still a good team without Irving, but they’ll be more reliant on SF Kevin Durant now. I like the JAZZ (-120) to win outright.

Against the spread

Utah has covered the spread in each of the last three games, while the Nets are 2-2 ATS in their last four. Their home record against the spread has been abysmal, going just 4-21-1 ATS in their last 26 home games, according to Covers.

Bet the JAZZ -1.5 (-110) to cover the small spread against the Nets on the road.

Over/Under

In the Jazz’s last five road games, the total has gone Under each time. And without Irving, the Nets will be lacking one of their top scorers.

The total is set a bit higher at 229.5, and I like the UNDER (-107) in this matchup.

Utah Jazz at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Utah Jazz at Brooklyn Nets NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Brooklyn Nets (3-4) host the Utah Jazz (4-2) Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center. Below, we analyze the Jazz-Nets NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Utah crushed the San Antonio Spurs 130-109 on the road Sunday, thanks to some red-hot shooting. The Jazz shot 55.1% from the field and made 21-of-41 3-pointers while the Spurs made just 6-of-19 from behind the arc. Jazz SF Bojan Bogdanovic—who missed the playoff last year due to a season-ending injury—scored a game-high 28 points and hit 6-of-7 threes.

After winning their first two games in spectacular fashion, the Nets have lost four of their last five including a 123-122 loss to the Washington Wizards as 7.5-point home favorites Sunday. Brooklyn was careless with the ball—turning it over 20 times—and had less of an interior presence than Washington; the Nets were outrebounded 59-55 and scored 12 fewer points in the paint.

The Jazz won both regular-season meetings last year but covered the spread only once and the Over cashed in each contest.

Jazz at Nets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 121, Nets 110

Money line (ML)

PASS ON THE MONEY LINE. It’s too expensive to bet Utah straight up and there’s not even another money line I’d put in a parlay with the Jazz (-210).

Against the spread (ATS)

Utah and Brooklyn will have essentially the same rosters on the floor as last year when these teams played but the major difference is the Nets moving on from former head coach Kenny Atkinson and hiring Steve Nash. It’s still TBD if Nash can coach but Jazz head coach Quin Snyder is a sleeper contender for Coach of the Year.

Not only is Brooklyn missing an MVP favorite in Durant but the absence of Dinwiddie also hurts a Nets team whose strength is depth. Dinwiddie was Brooklyn’s second-leading scorer in both of its games against the Jazz last season.

Also, there isn’t a matchup the Nets win in my opinion. Sure, Irving could give it to Jazz PG Mike Conley but that’s more of an on-paper matchup as SG Donovan Mitchell is the real ball-dominant guard Irving has to compete against. I’d give Mitchell the edge over Kyrie if Jazz-Nets detours to a one-on-one game briefly.

GIMME JAZZ -4.5 (-120) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Utah’s opponents shooting at the third-highest clip from deep is more random than indicative of how the Jazz play defense. That being said, Brooklyn is sixth in 3-point shooting and the adjustment I could see them making against a good Utah defense and without KD is to chuck threes.

I am not crazy about it but I’ll lean OVER 226.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit.
