[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (0-4) will go up against the Utah Jazz (1-3) on Wednesday at Delta Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; split last season’s series 2-2

The Grizzlies fell short of covering the spread (-1) and the Over (223) hit in their 125-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Memphis has lost 4 consecutive games to begin the season, and 3 of those games were played at home.

The Jazz were defeated by the Denver Nuggets 110-102 on Monday, covering as 9-point road underdogs and connecting on Under 226 points. Dating back to last season, Utah has now lost 8 of its last 10 contests.

Grizzlies at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Jazz 113

Moneyline

I believe Memphis will get on track soon amid Morant’s suspension, so I’ll back the GRIZZLIES (+110) on the road. Even with the Grizzlies missing some depth pieces due to injury, they have a talented team that is better than their record indicates.

While Memphis is 27th in offensive rating through 4 games, Utah is dead last in defensive rating to begin the season.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES +2.5 (-115) is the play in this matchup considering I have Memphis securing the victory. Even if the Grizzlies don’t come away with their 1st win of the season, they should keep it close against a young Jazz squad.

Utah is 2-7-1 ATS against Memphis in the last 10 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-110) is the lean in this showdown as both teams are top 15 in pace. The trio of G Desmond Bane, F Jaren Jackson Jr., and G Marcus Smart are enough to produce a decent number of points against the Jazz.

Meanwhile, the Jazz just need other guys to step up alongside F Lauri Markkanen. The Over is also 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between Memphis and Utah.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (38-42) go up against the Utah Jazz (36-43) on Thursday at Vivint Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Jazz odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Thunder fell 136-125 to the Golden State Warriors Tuesday and failed to cover as 7.5-point road underdogs. Oklahoma City has lost 3 straight games and is tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, although OKC owns the tiebreaker.

The Jazz lost 135-133 in overtime to the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday despite covering as 11-point home underdogs. Utah has also lost 3 consecutive games and trails the Thunder and Mavericks by 1.5 games for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference.

Oklahoma City and Utah will meet for the fourth time this season on Thursday. The Thunder went 2-1 straight up and 2-0-1 against the spread and the Over was 2-1 in the first three meetings.

Thunder at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 122, Jazz 112

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Thunder (-250) need a win with the Mavericks securing a victory on Wednesday night, but taking them straight up at these steep odds isn’t advised in this contest.

Against the spread

THUNDER -6.5 (-110) is the choice in this showdown with Oklahoma City desperate to sneak into the playoffs. Markkanen and a few starters are sidelined for the Jazz, while G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and G Josh Giddey are available for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings overall between these teams and 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Utah.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 237.5 (-110).

Both of these teams play at a top-12 pace in the NBA, but the Jazz don’t have enough offensive firepower available Thursday to help hit the Over. The Under is also 19-7 in the last 26 meetings between these teams in Utah.

Jazz at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 115, Magic 111

Moneyline

The JAZZ (+140) are my pick in this matchup despite their recent struggles. The Magic have also struggled recently and there’s a chance Clarkson and/or Kessler return to the lineup for the Jazz on Thursday.

Against the spread

JAZZ +3.5 (-110) is how you can bet the spread if you aren’t comfortable taking Utah to win outright. The Jazz are a strong 18-14-1 ATS in their 33 road games this season.

Utah is also 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings with Orlando.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-115).

The Jazz are 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 games following an ATS win and the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these clubs.

Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah Jazz (29-30) square off against the Memphis Grizzlies (34-22) on Wednesday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz beat the Indiana Pacers 123-117 on Monday to cover as 1-point road favorites. Despite the win over Indiana, Utah is just 5-5 in its last 10 games.

The Grizzlies failed to cover as 3-point road underdogs in a 119-109 loss to the Boston Celtics Sunday. Memphis has posted a 3-7 record in its last 10 contests.

This is the fourth and final meeting between these teams this season. The Jazz covered the spread as underdogs in each of the first 3 meetings — winning 2 of them outright — and the Over connected twice.

Jazz at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Jazz 115

Moneyline

AVOID.

Taking the Grizzlies at the current odds (-320) isn’t advised with the minimal profit you’ll receive with a win.

Against the spread

JAZZ +8.5 (-115) is an enticing wager at such a massive spread with Utah being good ATS this season. The Jazz have covered the spread in each of the first 3 meetings against the Grizzlies this season — all as underdogs — and they’ve won 2 of those outright.

The Jazz are 13-7-1 ATS in their 21 games this season as road underdogs. On top of that, Utah is also 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings against Memphis.

Over/Under

Even with these teams both being in the top half of the league in pace, UNDER 238.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup.

The Grizzlies are 8-1 to the Under in their last 9 games following a loss and 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record.

The Hornets narrowly defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-118 Saturday, winning outright as 7.5-point road underdogs. Charlotte has strung together 2 wins in a row after losing 5 straight games from Jan. 8 – 16.

The Jazz fell 117-106 to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday and were unable to cover as 5-point favorites at home. Utah has still won 4 of its last 6 games despite the loss to Brooklyn.

Hornets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 121, Hornets 110

Moneyline

AVOID.

I wouldn’t advise taking Utah (-330) to win straight up at the current odds as the risk outweighs the return you’ll receive if the Jazz win.

Against the spread

Assuming that Ball is going to miss Monday’s contest for the Hornets, JAZZ -7.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager. Utah has won 15 straight home games against Charlotte and the Hornets could struggle to score if Ball is ruled out.

The Jazz are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss.

Over/Under

UNDER 238.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. While the Jazz are 4th in offensive rating and 14th in pace, the Hornets are 29th in offensive rating and 10th in pace.

The Under has hit in 9 of the last 11 meetings between the Hornets and the Jazz in Utah and these teams have only gone Over this total twice in the last 10 meetings.

The Nets lost 117-112 at the Phoenix Suns Thursday, losing outright as 3.5-point favorites. Brooklyn has lost 4 games in a row with F Kevin Durant still sidelined due to a knee injury.

The Jazz cruised to a 126-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday to cover as 8-point favorites at home. Utah is on a 2-game win streak and has won 4 of its last 5 games.

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.

Prediction

PASS on the moneyline.

Taking the Cavaliers (-150) straight up isn’t advised at the current odds, but I’d be fine taking them win in a parlay.

Against the spread

CAVALIERS -3.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the trends going against this pick. The Jazz have struggled to win games recently and are 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games.

Over/Under

With G Donovan Mitchell making his return to Utah, OVER 226.5 (-112) is an intriguing wager. Both of these teams are top 10 in offensive rating and it will be a massive pace-up game for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games following a win and the Jazz are 5-1 to the Over in their last 6 games overall.

Jazz at Rockets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 116, Rockets 108

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Jazz being favored to win on the road. I wouldn’t advise taking Utah to win straight up at the current odds as you’ll receive a minimal profit if the Jazz win.

Against the spread

With the Rockets playing a back-to-back, JAZZ -5.5 (-112) appears to be the logical choice in this game. It’s easier to trust a trio of F Lauri Markkanen, G Jordan Clarkson, and G Mike Conley than a young Rockets team.

Over/Under

UNDER 230.5 (-110) is an enticing wager despite many expecting this to be a high-scoring contest. While the Jazz are 4th in offensive rating, the Rockets are 29th in offensive rating this season.

The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the Jazz and the Rockets when the game is in Houston. On top of that, the Under is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings overall.

The teams have split 2 games this season with totals of 222 and 210.

The Jazz suffered a 112-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday as they failed to cover as 4.5-point favorites on the road. Utah is on a 2-game losing streak ahead of its matchup with Sacramento on Friday.

Jazz at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 125, Jazz 119

Moneyline

The odds for the Kings to win are currently at a point where I’ll PASS on taking it straight up, but I’d wager on it if you can get them at -140 or better. This should be a good game between 2 teams that have exceeded expectations thus far, though the Jazz have a 7-13 record on the road.

Against the spread

KINGS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning assuming that C Domantas Sabonis is playing without any limitations again. Sacramento has a solid 10-7 record at home and we only need the Kings to win by a couple of baskets to cover the spread.

The Jazz have gone 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Over/Under

Despite it being such a high total, OVER 241.5 (-108) feels like the correct choice at the current odds. The Jazz and the Kings are both top 13 in pace, top 12 in true-shooting percentage, and top 7 in offensive rating while they both are bottom-10 teams in defensive rating.

The Jazz have hit the Over in 5 of their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the Kings have gone Over in 14 of their last 18 home games against a team with a losing road record. On top of that, the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Pelicans at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 119, Jazz 114

Moneyline

Even though New Orleans wasn’t able to take care of business on the road against Utah Tuesday, I’m taking the PELICANS (-115) to secure the victory Thursday. I expect New Orleans to keep it more competitive than Tuesday’s contest and the Pelicans to bounce back with a win.

Against the spread

PELICANS -1.5 (-105) is an enticing wager in this game with how well New Orleans has played recently outside of Tuesday’s meeting with Utah. The Pelicans have the same odds as they did in Tuesday’s matchup and they should be able to deliver this time around.

The Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 ATS following 1 day of rest.

Over/Under

Considering that I envision New Orleans keeping it close with Utah after getting blown out Tuesday, OVER 231.5 (-115) is the ideal choice. Both of these teams are in the top 12 in pace while they are also in the top 6 in offensive rating this season.

Even though Tuesday’s showdown didn’t hit the Over, the Over has hit in 23 of the last 34 meetings between the Pelicans and the Jazz.
