Utah has won six of the past seven meetings and covered the spread the past three, including 126-119 over the Raptors on Dec. 23 in the only meeting this season. The Jazz shot 53 percent in that game with Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson scoring 30 points apiece. The Jazz have won nine of 11 and three in a row after defeating Denver 124-111 in Wednesday. Clarkson had 27 points to lead three 20-point scorers and the Jazz shot 55.4 percent against the Nuggets. Utah previously had beaten Milwaukee and Philadelphia on the road. Toronto has lost six of nine, including its last two games against the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles. This is the Raptors' ninth road game in 17 days and sixth in 10 days so they will be a tired team coming to Utah and playing in altitude. Utah is 13-3 ATS its past 16 home games. Play the Jazz.
