Jazz at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Jazz 117

Moneyline

BET NETS (-104).

The Nets have rebounded well since a poor stretch in late December where they covered just 1 of 12 games. They are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 but are still 13-8-2 ATS at home. The Jazz are the best covering team in the NBA at home but are just 12-13-1 ATS on the road.

Utah is 9-17 straight up away from home. While it had been hot earlier in the month, Utah has lost 3 of its last 4 and has only won against the Hornets and Wizards, 2 of the worst teams in the East.

Expect a close battle, and take NETS (-104) given the Jazz's lack of recent success.

Against the spread

PASS.

Given the spread and moneyline are so similar, take the latter as it gives marginally better value.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 235.5 (-112).

The Jazz have been playing far too fast to suggest anything but the Over. They have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and in 6 of their last 8.

Utah has scored at least 120 points in each of those 8 games and has allowed at least 122 in 5. It is 26-20-1 O/U on the season. The Nets have gone Over in 2 of their last 5.

It will be a clash of styles, so this is a lean, but back OVER 235.5 (-112).
