Jazz at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 129, Wizards 120

Moneyline

The Jazz (-300) have been bad on the road this season at 7-17, so seeing them with such short odds seems odd. However, the Wizards are only 3-17 at home this season.

The Wizards have lost 7 straight games at home.

The Jazz have lost the 1st 2 games of their road trip but are 5-3 in their last 8 road contests.

You can't reasonably expect a Washington win to take advantage of the payout there and -300 odds on the Jazz isn't worth wagering.

PASS.

Against the spread

Both teams are better ATS than their regular win-loss records.

The Jazz are 27-18-1 ATS and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games but are 1-2 ATS in their last 3.

The Wizards are 20-21-2 ATS overall but 7-13 ATS at home.

BET JAZZ -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Utah has scored 120 or more points in 9 straight games and is averaging 129.3 points in that span.

Six of its last 7 games have had totals of more than 244 points.

Only 2 of the Wizards' last 7 games have surpassed 244 points.

BET OVER 244.5 (-115).
