Nuggets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 125, Jazz 105

Moneyline

The Nuggets are in a battle for the No. 1 seed in the West having won 18 of their last 23 games against a team already eliminated from contention and having lost 12 in a row and 15 of 16.

The Nuggets have everything to play for and the Jazz nothing but pride, and that clearly hasn’t helped them win.

Nothing about the matchup suggests upset win for the Jazz, so no need to bet them and it is a waste to bet the Nuggets at -1200.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz covered the spread in their loss on Sunday to the Warriors, but their previous 3 losses were by 16 or more points, all to playoff-bound teams.

Three of the Nuggets’ last 4 wins have been by at least 22 points.

BET NUGGETS -14.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Jazz have allowed 118 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games for an average 123.3 points per game and 5 of the Jazz’ last 6 games have had totals higher than 225 points.

Denver scored 128 or more in 3 of its last 4 wins.

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

The Utah Jazz (29-48) take on the Golden State Warriors (42-35) Sunday. Tip-off from Chase Center is at 8:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 2-0

The Jazz are reeling. They have lost 11 straight games and 14 of their last 15. They last played Friday, falling 131-102 to the LA Clippers and failing to cover the 12.5-point spread as road underdogs.

The Warriors hold on to the 10th seed and final berth in the play-in tournament, leading the Houston Rockets by 4 games. They are 2 games behind 9th-place Sacramento. They had a 6-game winning streak snapped Friday in a 108-106 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks as 1-point underdogs.

Jazz at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 131, Jazz 118

Moneyline

The Jazz have lost 11 straight games overall and 12 straight on the road. They have been eliminated from postseason contention, while the Warriors (-700) are fighting for seeding and perhaps trying to get to the No. 6 seed in order to avoid the play-in tournament.

Even with Curry resting, it isn’t enough to predict the Jazz will suddenly pull the upset over a Warriors team that has won 6 of 7.

But don’t bet the Warriors at -700. Those are terrible odds to bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors covered the spread in both wins over Utah in February, although they were just 2.5- and 1-point favorites in those games.

The Warriors have covered the spread in 24 of their last 25 victories, while the Jazz have only covered the spread in 3 of their last 14 losses.

BET WARRIORS -11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both previous meetings had totals of 236 and 277.

The Jazz have allowed 127 points or more in 3 straight games.

BET OVER 226.5 (-110).

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Jazz have lost 10 in a row and 13 of 14 after a 129-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday. They are just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 games. F Brice Sensabaugh has busted out with 22 points in consecutive games. He is 11-for-19 (57.9%) during the stretch.

Jazz at Clippers and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 107, Jazz 101

Moneyline

This is a bit of a trap game for the Clippers as they’re firmly entrenched as the No. 4 seed in the West. I just don’t have it in me to take the plunge on Utah without Markkanen.

So I’m targeting Zubac here. The team is on a back-to-back, and they’re likely trying to build his confidence up as they’ll need him in the postseason. He has double-doubles in 3 straight and is averaging 16 PPG and 12.7 RPG during the stretch.

Take IVICA ZUBAC DOUBLE-DOUBLE (-120).

Against the spread

I like the Jazz here, and this is why: The Clippers are averaging just 107 PPG over the last 5. They won 4 of those! So this is really a question of whether Utah can score 97 to stay within range. They have done so in 10 straight – while losing all of them.

Take the JAZZ +12.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Clippers are 6-4 O/U in their last 10, and Utah is 4-6. The last matchup went Under 225.5 in December, and that’s more indicative of the Jazz, and that game had Leonard and Clarkson.

Take the UNDER 223.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Utah Jazz (29-45) face off against the Sacramento Kings (42-31) Sunday. Tip-off from Golden 1 Center is set for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sacramento leads 2-0

Utah suffered a 101-100 loss at the hands of the Houston Rockets Friday, covering as an 8-point home underdog. The Jazz came close to ending Houston’s win streak, but they could not overcome their 21 turnovers or 25.8% shooting from long range. Utah has lost 8 consecutive games.

Sacramento lost 107-103 vs. the Dallas Mavericks Friday, marking the team’s 2nd loss to the Mavericks in 4 days. The Kings failed to cover as 1-point home underdogs in the loss. Sacramento struggled to stop the Mavs’ duo of Kyrie Irvingand Luka Doncic, who combined for 56 points, while the Kings had no scorer eclipse 23.

Jazz at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 108, Jazz 103

Moneyline

PASS.

The Kings (-950) should come away with the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -950 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +12.5 (-108).

Utah has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 matchups vs. the Kings in Sacramento. The Jazz also hold the narrow 5-4-1 ATS lead on the Kings in the last 10 meetings. Utah has also been the slightly better team ATS this year at 38-36, while the Kings are 36-36-1.

This is only a lean because both teams have been bad ATS recently and both have been mediocre ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225 (-110).

The Under has hit in 6 consecutive games for the Kings and is 9-1 in their last 10 overall.

For Utah, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games and 6-2 in its last 8 overall. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Utah-Sacramento matchups.

The Utah Jazz (29-44) welcome the Houston Rockets (37-35) to the Delta Center Friday. Tip is set for 9:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockets vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockets lead 2-0

The Jazz are 0-2 straight up against Houston this season, but they are 1-1 against the spread (ATS). Most recently (Saturday), the Rockets beat Utah 147-119 with Houston closing as a 10.5-point favorite.

The Jazz are coming off a 118-111 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday, failing to cover as 4-point favorites. They have lost 7 straight and are just 1-6 ATS over that stretch. Utah is 37-36 ATS on the season. It is led by F Lauri Markkanen, who is averaging 23.2 points per game.

The Rockets have been 1 of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning 10 straight games and covering in 9 of them. They are coming off a 132-126 overtime road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that sits tied for 2nd in the Western Conference. Houston is 42-29-1 ATS on the season. It is led by C Alperen Sengun, who is averaging 21.1 PPG.

Rockets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 121, Jazz 112

Moneyline

PASS.

Utah has lost 7 straight, 4 of those at home. The Rockets (-275) are among the hottest teams in the NBA, riding a 10-game win streak. While Houston is the favorite, at -275, it isn’t worth a play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS -7 (-110).

Houston has been on a tear, and it hasn’t mattered who it has faced. The Rockets are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games as road favorites and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as favorites.

The Jazz will be without their 3rd option offensively and are are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as underdogs. Utah is 2-8 ATS in its last 10. That said, even without Sengun, 5 other Rockets average north of 12 PPG, so the scoring and firepower should be there to win and cover on the road.

Back ROCKETS -7 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229.5 (-110).

The Rockets have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 games, scoring at least 127 in 5 of them. The Jazz are no stranger to scoring either, having gone Over in 2 of their last 3. They are 39-32-2 O/U on the season.

Utah has tallied at least 110 in 2 of its last 3 and scored at least 111 points in 7 of its last 13 games. With both teams in the top half of the league in pace, expect a high-tempo and high-scoring battle.

Take OVER 229.5 (-110).

Spurs at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 115, Jazz 110

Moneyline

The Jazz have more home wins (20) than the SPURS (+135) have total wins (16), and 20 of the Jazz’s 29 victories have been at Delta Center. But they have lost 5 of their last 6 games at home.

The Jazz are 3-13 since the All-Star break.

The Spurs are coming off a win but have won consecutive games only 4 times all season. They are, though, 5-8 in their last 13 games.

These are both bad teams, and the Jazz have been playing worse despite being so much better at home than on the road.

The Spurs have been playing better more recently than Utah, so take a shot with the underdogs here.

BET SPURS (+125).

Against the spread

The Jazz are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.

The Spurs are 6-4 ATS over their last 10 games and 11-6 ATS since the break.

But if you like the Spurs to win the game, you are better off taking the plus odds on the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both previous meetings this season had totals above the projection for this matchup.

Three of the Spurs’ last 4 have stayed below 230 total points, while only 1 of the Jazz’s last 6 games reached 230 points.

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).

Dallas is coming off an extended down time and will be well rested for Monday night. The Mavs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games and have covered in 5 of their last 6 games as favorites and each of their last 4 at home.

Prediction

Rockets 124, Jazz 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Rockets (-650), who have won 7 straight, to beat the Jazz, who have lost 4 in a row.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS -11.5 (-105).

With the Jazz being without Markkanen, Saturday’s matchup will be an uphill battle. 3 of their last 6 losses have come by 12 or more points including on Thursday when Markkanen was in the lineup. Each of Houston’s last 4 wins have come by double digits and 5 of their last 6 double digit wins have been by at least 13 points. With the Rockets trending up and the Jazz trending down, expect the Rockets to have their way on Saturday. Houston is 9-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-105).

The Rockets have scored at least 117 in each of their last 4 games including 127 or more in 3 of them. They have also allowed 114 or more in 3 of their last 4. Houston has hit the Over in each of their last 4 games. Utah has allowed 114 or more in 9 of its last 10 games. Expect Houston to carry the load Saturday.

The Mavericks have won 2 in a row and 6 of 7. They are currently 7th in the West, half a game out of the sixth seed, a guaranteed spot in the playoffs rather than having to be part of the play-in games.

Jazz at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 123, Jazz 107

Moneyline

The Jazz, who only have 3 wins in their last 17 games, are just 9-25 on the road this season and have lost 8 straight road games. Meanwhile, the Mavs have won 6 of their last 7 overall and 7 of their last 9 games at home.

The Jazz did blow out the Mavs in Salt Lake City 127-90 on Jan. 1 when they were 4.5-point underdogs, but the have not beaten the Mavs in Dallas since 2020.

But betting the Mavs isn’t a good wager at -1100. You don’t make enough money to make it worth your time.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz covered the 15.5-point spread in their loss on Wednesday, but failed to cover the spread in their previous 4 losses. They are 15-19 ATS on the road this season.

The Mavs are 17-19 ATS at home this season and, before failing to cover the spread in their win over the Spurs on Tuesday, were 6-0 ATS in their previous 6 games.

But they will remember the blowout loss in January.

BET MAVERICKS -14.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Both meetings this season were blowouts. The 1st game, a 147-97 Mavs win, had a total of 244, while the Jazz’ win in January had 217 total points.

Only 1 of the last 9 meetings has surpassed 237 total points.

The Jazz have scored 107 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games while the Mavs’ high in scoring in their last 4 games is 119 points.

BET UNDER 237.5 (-110).

Jazz at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 123, Jazz 113

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Thunder (-1100), who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, to beat the Jazz, who are 2-8 in their last 10.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +15.5 (-115).

OKC is just 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games, including 1-6 ATS in its last 7 and 1-3 ATS in its last 4 at home. It is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite of 8.5 or more points.

The Jazz are 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games and have only lost 4 of their last 10 by 15 or more. With Markkanen sidelined, and possibly Collins too, Utah will face an uphill battle, but 15.5 points is too many to bet against it.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-105).

The Jazz have an Over record of 37-29-2 this season, while the Thunder’s is 38-28-1.

Utah has scored 117 or more points with the Over hitting in 5 of its last 8 games and allowed 115 or more in 9 of its last 10.

Oklahoma City has hit the Over in back-to-back games and scored 118 or more points in 3 of its last 4. It has allowed 112 or more points in each of its last 3 games and 6 of its last 9.
