Brooklyn at Utah

Deron Williams is back and this line reflects his presence. But, he hasn't been playing full time going under 30 minutes in both of his first performances. I don't think Utah pushes him here when they are facing New Jersey at home. However, is New Jersey really that much of a cupcake? On the road this season they are 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS, scoring 104 ppg. Over their last five games they are averaging over 106 ppg. Their defense is weak, but Utah has also been porous, allowing 102 per game over their last five. Under Jerry Sloan, the Jazz are just 34-53 ATS in the third straight game as a favorite. I think the Nets can keep pace with Utah offensively and will keep this one close.
