Magic at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 121, Magic 114

Moneyline

PASS.

Orlando is 6-14 on the road while Utah is 13-7 at home. However, while the odds for Utah (-220) are reasonable, it lacks value and is not playable.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ -5.5 (-118).

Orlando is 9-10-1 ATS on the road while Utah is 11-9 ATS at home.

While Orlando has been playing well lately, winning 2 of its last 3, it has alternated covering and not covering over its last 6 games and is trending to not cover on Friday.

It also averages just 110.4 points per game while giving up 114.2 per game, and against a thriving offense like Utah’s, that may be an issue. Considering the trends, back the JAZZ -5.5 (-118).

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-110).

If there’s one thing both teams have done so far this season, it is hitting the projected Over. Utah is 25-19 O/U while Orlando is 22-20 O/U.

Orlando has also alternated going Over and Under in their last 4 and is primed for the Over to hit. Utah, on the other hand, has gone Over in 4 straight and has allowed at least 120 points in 2 of its last 3 games. It is 6-1 O/U in its last 7.

Put it all together, and back the OVER 233.5 (-110).

Magic at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 114, Magic 103

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Magic are 8-23 on the road this season while the Jazz are 19-10 at home. Projecting a Magic win would be just a shot in the dark. Meanwhile, it is not worth wagering 12 times your potential return on this regular-season game.

Against the spread

The two teams are vastly different in terms of wins and losses but are very similar in their performance against the spread this season.

The Magic are 25-31 ATS overall this season. Utah is 24-29-2 ATS.

Orlando has covered the spread in five of their last nine games, although they have not covered the spread in any of their last five losses.

The Jazz have covered the spread in their last three games but are 3-2 ATS in their last five victories.

Utah struggles to cover the spread at home with an 11-17 ATS record, while the Magic are 18-13 ATS on the road despite winning just eight road games all season.

Take the MAGIC +13.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Magic are one of the league’s lowest-scoring teams with 103.1 points per contest (28th). However, they have scored 110 points or more in six of their last seven games and 115 or more four times.

They face a Jazz squad that has allowed an average of 98.8 points per game in their four-game win streak and haven’t allowed more than 104 points in that span.

Take UNDER 221.5 (-108).
