The Philadelphia 76ers (6-7) welcome the Utah Jazz (10-4) to Wells Fargo Center Sunday. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The 76ers have rebounded following their 0-3 start to the season, but they haven’t maintained a high level of play, losing 3 of their last 5 games. Philly has scored 100 or fewer in 2 of their last 3.
The 76ers are without G James Harden, which has meant G Tyrese Maxey and MVP candidate C Joel Embiid have had to step up. The duo combines to average 52.5 points per game.
As for the Jazz, they have been one of the most surprising teams so far this season. Utah sits atop the Western Conference and is 5-4 on the road this season.
It is led by F Lauri Markkanen, who is averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting 53% from the field. The real strength comes in its depth as 6 players average double figures for Utah.

Jazz at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
Jazz 114, 76ers 110
Moneyline
PASS.
I like Utah, and the market is still underrating them. But, I would prefer to get the 3.5 points here.
Against the spread
BET JAZZ +3.5 (-110).
The Jazz are 10-4 against the spread (ATS) this season. They are 6-3 ATS as the road side as well. Lastly, Utah is 9-1 ATS as an underdog, all of which point to the Jazz as the better play.
The 76ers have the 10th-best net rating, which does suggest they are better than their record indicates. However, the Jazz sit 5th in net rating and have the 2nd-best offensive rating in the NBA.
Philadelphia hasn’t been great lately and also isn’t great on the glass, ranking 15th in defensive rebounding rate, which should give a strong advantage to Utah, which sits 6th in offensive rebounding rate.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 218.5 (-115).
The 76ers play at the 3rd-slowest pace, which is a key reason why this total is lower than most. Philadelphia has scoring threats like Maxey and Embiid, and the Jazz are both active on the glass and have the 11th-highest pace in the NBA.
Utah is 5-5 O/U as an underdog, and Philadelphia is 5-4 O/U as a favorite.
