76ers at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 126, Jazz 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-200) are in a great spot, but there’s no need to pay the high price for the moneyline when Philadelphia should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -5.5 (-105).

Philadelphia is the 5th-best team at covering after a straight-up loss with a 9-6 record ATS. The last time the 76ers lost as double-digit favorites was a 114-105 upset on Oct. 22 while laying 13.5 points at home vs. the San Antonio Spurs. Philadelphia followed up that performance with a cover as a 12-point favorite at the Indiana Pacers Oct. 24 in a 120-106 win. Trust the 76ers to bounce back in a similar spot Saturday vs. a Jazz team that is just 1-3 ATS in its last 4 home games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-105).

Philadelphia should be able to put up a lot of points in this spot as the 76ers are 5th in offensive efficiency on the road and the Jazz are 26th in defensive efficiency on the season. The Over is 10-1 in Philadelphia’s last 11 games and 4-1 in Utah’s last 5. Look for these trends to continue Saturday.

Philadelphia 76ers at Utah Jazz odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Utah Jazz NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The top two seeds in each conference meet Monday when the Philadelphia 76ers (18-9) visit the Utah Jazz (22-5) at Vivint Arena Monday. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the 76ers-Jazz NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Philadelphia has dropped two straight games entering Monday and is just 3-3 straight up and 2-3-1 against the spread since the beginning of February.

The Jazz are lighting the Association on fire by winning 18 of their last 19 games and covering the spread in 17 of those contests.

76ers at Jazz: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 110, Jazz 106

Money line (ML)

Let me caveat this handicap by saying there’s no way you can bet Philadelphia if Embiid, who’s listed as questionable, cannot play tonight. If Embiid is in there, I lean 76ERS (+240) for a one-fifth-unit because I like Philadelphia plus the points.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

BET 76ERS +7.5 (-115) heavier or instead of the money line if Embiid is active. Philadelphia PG Ben Simmons has mitigated Utah SG Donovan Mitchell’s production in the last six 76ers-Jazz games as Mitchell is averaging 20.2 points per game on .350/.184/.640 shooting in those contests.

Also, this is a game where first-year 76ers SG Seth Curry can shine; Curry averaged 18.7 points on .704/.667/1.000 shooting in three games against the Jazz last season while a member of the Dallas Mavericks. The gravitational pull of Embiid’s offensive repertoire can help the shooters on Philadelphia get wide-open looks.

Finally, the best way to beat the 76ers is by taking advantage of their ball security. Philadelphia is 28th in turnover percentage and 28th in opponent’s points per game off of turnovers, but the Jazz are dead-last in defensive turnover rate and 24th in points off of turnovers per game.

Over/Under (O/U)

The 76ers need to stop the Jazz from gassing past them from behind the arc and Philadelphia’s 3-point defense against Utah has been on-point in recent years. The median for team 3-point percentage is 36.0% this season and the Jazz have shot better than 36.0% from deep just once against the 76ers in their last six meetings.

Combined with how Philadelphia’s defense matches up with Utah and the absence of Conley, I give a real shot to the 76ers at doing the unthinkable: Stopping the Jazz’s offense.

GIMME UNDER 225.5 (-105) for 1 unit.
