Nets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 121, Nets 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

Wagering on Utah (-290) to win straight up isn’t worth doing due to the minimal return you’ll receive if the Jazz secure the victory.

Against the spread

JAZZ -7.5 (-110) seems like the ideal choice in this game with how these teams have performed recently. Brooklyn has struggled to win without Durant and Utah is rolling again with F Lauri Markkanen leading the way.

The Nets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 8-19 ATS in their last 27 meetings against the Jazz while the Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.

Over/Under

Even with Durant sidelined, OVER 229.5 (-110) is a solid bet assuming that G Kyrie Irving plays on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. This is a pace-up game for the Nets and both of these teams are top 9 in offensive rating.

The Jazz have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games playing on 1 day of rest.

Brooklyn Nets at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

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

The Brooklyn Nets (29-22) head to Salt Lake City Friday for a 9 p.m. ET tip-off with the Utah Jazz (31-21) at the Vivint Smart Home Arena. Below, we look at the Nets vs. Jazz odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Brooklyn lost its sixth consecutive game Wednesday after being upset 112-101 at the Sacramento Kings as 5-point road favorites. The Nets are just 1-4-1 against the spread (ATS) over the past six games. SG James Harden (hamstring) has been ruled out tonight.

Utah snapped its 5-game losing skid by squeaking past a Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets 108-104 as 6.5-point home favorites Tuesday. Over the past two weeks, the Jazz are 2-5 straight up (SU) and 1-5-1 ATS. Clearly the loss of C Rudy Gobert (calf) has them compromised.

Nets at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 121, Nets 119

Money line

PASS.

I only “lean” to Brooklyn plus the points and don’t like it enough to sprinkle on the Nets (+180). But if you’re feeling frisky and want to double up, the price is ripe.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the NETS +5.5 (-108) as more of a fade against this version of the Jazz -5.5 (-112) who shouldn’t this big of a favorite over anyone.

Utah is 8-18 ATS as a home favorite with a minus-4.1 ATS margin and 2-9 ATS at home versus teams with a winning record.

On the other hand, Brooklyn is 5-4 ATS as a road underdog and 7-4 ATS in away games versus winning teams.

Kyrie Irving is averaging 28.2 PPG on 48.6% shooting (38.2% from deep) in five career meetings with SG Donovan Mitchell.

Furthermore, Utah’s defense has taken a nosedive since losing Gobert, who has missed the previous five games. Over that span, the Jazz rank 25th in defensive rating.

However, it’s only a “LEAN” to the NETS +5.5 (-108) because they have been terrible lately as well, and most of the market is betting Brooklyn.

Over/Under

BET the OVER 229.5 (-112) for 1 unit because Brooklyn’s defense has been even worse than Utah’s recently. In fact, over the past two weeks, the Nets have the third-worst adjusted defensive rating, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

On top of that, both teams have a top-10 offensive FT/FGA rate, and we have a very Over-friendly officiating crew assigned to this Nets-Jazz game. All three referees officiate more to the Over, and they have a combined 62-44 O/U record.

Finally, I’m expecting bounce-back performances from both offenses, which struggled in their previous games. The Nets put up a 101-point dud versus a lowly Kings team while the Jazz get back their best offensive player.
