Jazz at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 123, Jazz 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pistons are the better team here on both sides of the ball and will pick up the win as -200 favorites, but such a heavy favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN PISTONS -4.5 (-110).

Detroit has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games while Utah has failed to cover in 3 straight games. This season, the Pistons are 13-13-1 ATS while Utah is only 10-15 ATS.

Detroit has also covered in 4 of its last 6 matchups against the Jazz.

This is a lean because Detroit is only 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 4 of Detroit’s last 5 games and is 7-3 in the Pistons’ last 10 games. For Utah, the Over is undefeated in its last 5 games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 overall matchups between these squads and is 2-1 in the last 3 meetings in Detroit.

Suns at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 120, Jazz 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns should snap their losing streak Friday as the Jazz have struggled immensely all season long. However, Phoenix is far too expensive to take.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Utah has traded off covering and failing to in 5 straight, primed to surpass expectations. It is 3-3 ATS in its last 6 home games and 2-2 ATS in its last 4. The Jazz have found some consistency defensively, allowing 106 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5.

The Suns haven’t found success offensively with Durant sidelined. They have scored 111 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games and are 0-3 ATS in their last 3. Phoenix is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games. Back JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-110).

The Suns have gone Over in 3 straight games and have scored at least 110 points in each while allowing at least 115 points in all 3 as well. They are 14-9 O/U on the season.

Utah has gone Over in 3 straight as well, either scoring or allowing 141 points in 2 straight. It is, on a larger scale, 6-4 O/U in its last 10 games. Take OVER 231.5 (-110).

Jazz at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 127, Jazz 114

Moneyline

The Kings have won both meetings this season (113-96 in Utah Oct. 29 and 121-117 in Sacramento Nov. 16) and beaten the Jazz 6 straight times.

The Jazz are 3-8 on the road this season and only have 2 wins in their last 10 games.

Betting them to win doesn’t make sense, but betting the Kings at -700 doesn’t make you enough money to be worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz are 10-12 ATS this season, while the Kings are 9-14-1 ATS.

The Kings have covered the spread in their last 3 wins and are 9-1-1 ATS in their 11 victories.

The Jazz are 5-12 ATS in their 17 losses this season.

BET KINGS -12.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Their last meeting had 238 total points, but the Oct. 29 meeting only had 209.

Six of the last 10 meetings have ended with 234 or more total points scored.

The last 2 games overall for the Jazz have surpassed 233 points.

BET OVER 233.5 (-105).

The Oklahoma City Thunder (15-5) welcome the Utah Jazz (4-16) to Paycom Center Tuesday for NBA Cup group play. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Jazz vs. Thunder odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Thunder won 3-1 last season

Jazz at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 116, Jazz 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no reason to take the Thunder to win straight up as sizable favorites. The risk is far too great for such little reward. At the same time, the Jazz have been awful on the road and aren’t worth a play as underdogs here.

Against the spread

BET THUNDER -13.5 (-110).

The Jazz have failed to cover 3 of their last 4 and 5 of their last 8. They are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as double-digit underdogs. Utah is just 1-2 ATS in its last 3 on the road.

Oklahoma City is 2-1-1 ATS in its last 4 games and 4-3-1 ATS in its last 8 at home. The Thunder’s top 3 available scoring options all shoot over 50%, so the efficiency should be there to run up the score.

Back THUNDER -13.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 224.5 (-115).

The Thunder have scored 105 or fewer in 2 of their last 3 games and are 2-4 O/U over their last 6. They are 9-11 O/U on the season and have held opponents to 101 or fewer in 3 of their last 5.

The Jazz have struggled offensively for most of the season, scoring 104 or fewer in 3 straight games and going 1-4 O/U in their last 5. They are 8-12 O/U on the season.

Back UNDER 224.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s LA Lakers at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Los Angeles Lakers (11-8) and Utah Jazz (4-15) meet Sunday at Delta Center. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Lakers vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Lakers lead 1-0

The Lakers are in a slump, losing 4 of their last 5 games, including a 101-93 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. They were held to their lowest point total of the season and failed to cover as 2.5-point home underdogs as the Under 230 hit. Rookie Dalton Knecht led the Lakers with 20 points, hitting 6-of-13 from behind the arc. The Lakers also committed 17 turnovers.

The Jazz have struggled all season, losing 7 of their last 8 games, including a 106-94 defeat to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. They failed to cover as 6-point home underdogs with the Under 229 hitting. Despite a balanced scoring effort with 4 starters in double figures, they couldn’t contain G Kyrie Irving, who led the Mavericks with 30 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals.

Lakers at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 120, Jazz 108

Moneyline

The Lakers (-300) get themselves back on track with an impressive road win at Utah on Sunday but I’ll AVOID betting 3.5 units to win 1 in return. I’ll take my wager to the spread and/or total.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -7.5 (-110).

The Lakers are in a prime position to snap out of their mini slump and should have no problem beating the Jazz, whom they beat 124-118 on Nov. 19. The Lakers have 6 players averaging double figures led by F Anthony Davis, averaging 28.4 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, and F LeBron James, who is averaging 22.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 9.1 assistss per game.

Utah has struggled all season and could be without key players like G Jordan Clarkson and rookie C Kyle Filipowski. This will also be the second game of a back-to-back for the Jazz. They’ve only covered once in their last 5 games. With their roster issues and lack of depth, it’s hard to see Utah keeping this game competitive. The Lakers have the firepower to comfortably cover the spread in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).

The Lakers have been struggling to score of late and have gone Under in their last 4 games, with just 93 points in their most recent outing. While they’re unlikely to repeat that performance, their offense has been inconsistent.

The Jazz have also hit the Under in 3 of their last 4 games and have combined for fewer than 200 points in their last 2 games. With Utah playing a back-to-back, fatigue could impact their performance. Both teams have a combined average of only 123 points per game (Lakers 114, Jazz 109), and their slower pace of play suggests this game will stay Under.

Mavericks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 122, Jazz 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Jazz are missing too many key weapons and have struggled too much to think they can win as a sizable underdog. Avoid playing the home side to come out on top, and the Mavericks are too much of a favorite to consider either.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -6.5 (-110).

The Jazz have struggled over the last few weeks and are just 2-4 ATS in their last six games. They are among the bottom-third teams in the league at covering at home as well, going just 3-6 ATS at the Delta Center.

The Mavericks, who are 4-4-1 ATS on the road, have covered in 3 of their last 4 away games. Dallas is 2-0 ATS in its last 2 as a favorite and 6-1 ATS in its last 7.

Take MAVERICKS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-110).

The Jazz have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games and have scored at least 115 points in 4 of those. Utah’s defense has been among the worst in the NBA as well, having allowed at least 122 in 4 of its last 5.

The Mavericks, who are 10-8-1 O/U on the season, have gone Over in 4 straight games and have scored 129 in 2 in a row. They have scored at least 121 in 5 of their last 6.

Considering those recent trends for both sides, back OVER 231.5 (-110).

Nuggets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 123, Jazz 111

Moneyline

The Nuggets (-450) will set you back 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky either playing them straight up or as part of a multi-leg parlay. There is just no benefit to including Denver at this price anywhere.

PASS.

Against the spread

Play NUGGETS -9.5 (-110), although there is plenty of risk here. Denver has been rather erratic, especially lately, going just 2-4-1 ATS in the past 7 games.

However, the Jazz +9.5 (-110) are not killing it against the number, either, going 2-3 ATS in the past 5 outings. And, Utah failed to cover in a 26-point loss in the first meeting with Denver.

Over/Under

OVER 231.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Jazz, while also cashing in the first meeting against the Nuggets on Nov. 2.

The total has gone high in 3 of the past 4 games for the Nuggets, too, going for 118 or more points on offense in 4 consecutive outings. Denver has allowed 119 or more points in 6 of the past 10 outings.

Spurs at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 118, Jazz 114

Moneyline

So far this season, the only road game the Spurs have won is 106-88 over the Jazz on Oct. 31.

The Jazz have struggled both at home and on the road, with 2 wins each. Scoring points hasn’t been an issue for them as they have put up 115 points or more in 5 of their last 6 games. But they have allowed 116-plus points in 5 of their last 7 games. They have not won consecutive games all season.

The Spurs, with 3 consecutive wins, should take care of the Jazz. But you get better odds with the spread, so PASS.

Against the spread

Of the Jazz’ 12 losses this season, 11 have been by at least 4 points. Only their season opener was a loss by fewer than 3 points.

All 9 of the Spurs’ wins have been by at least 3 points.

BET SPURS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Their meeting on Thursday had 244 total points, after 221 points and 194 points in their first 2 meetings this season.

Six of the last 7 games for the Jazz have surpassed this game’s projection as have 3 of the Spurs last 6 games.

BET OVER 225.5 (-115).

Knicks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 124, Jazz 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-410) will pick up the win and cover, but such heavy favorites are never worth the risk of betting. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread back-to-back games, while the Jazz are only 1-2 ATS in their last 3. The Knicks are also 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

With so many injuries for Utah, backing the Knicks is a pretty safe bet.

This is a lean because Utah and New York have been very similar ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Utah and is 3-1 in its last 4.

For New York, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 outings and 4-1 in its last 5. The Over also hit in the meeting.

Be aware that the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
