Since the start of the 2010 season, the Utah Jazz have not won more than 43 games in any campaign, but at an 18-12 start to this year, they are coming of age. They have already beaten Oklahoma City and Houston at home, where they are always a tough team to beat. In an era of scoring in the NBA, the Jazz, have done it the old-fashioned way, on defense, as they allow just 94.9 points per game. The Jazz are 216-84 straight-up at home vs. the Eastern Conference, and one of the things that makes them tough at home is the altitude. The Jazz are at .600 right now and since 1996, when they have a winning percentage of .600 or better, they are an amazing 106-21 SU at home vs. the East. Getting points is a bonus, so play on Utah.
