Jazz at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Jazz 115, Wizards 109
Moneyline
The JAZZ (-155) are a strong play on the road.
The Jazz traded C Rudy Gobert and G Donovan Mitchell this offseason, and it looked like a rebuild was underway. But Utah has jelled together nicely and gotten off to a surprisingly red-hot start.
Against the spread
JAZZ -3.5 (-115) is worth playing here, as Utah should be able to win by at least 2 buckets.
Utah has covered in 7 consecutive outings, including a win and cover against the only Eastern Conference team it has played. That win and cover came last time out in Atlanta, 125-119, to kick off the 3-game Eastern road trip.
Over/Under
OVER 220.5 (-108) is worth playing lightly.
The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games overall for the Jazz, while cashing last time out for the Wizards.
Utah is also well rested, last playing Wednesday. The Over is 4-1 in its last 5 games when playing on 2 days of rest.
For Washington, there are plenty of Under trends, but the Over is 15-6 in the past 21 games at home dating back to last season while cashing at a 5-1-1 clip in the past 7 games against teams with a winning overall record.
