The Brooklyn Nets may turn out to be 10 points better than the Jazz as they become more in sync with the new faces in Pierce, and Garnett. But early season double-digit favorites tend not to be good bets - especially against a winless team. History shows when a double-digit favorite is facing a winless team before game 11, the results have been a 33% cover rate, so the value is on the dog here. Utah has faced Oklahoma City, and Houston already on their way to 0-3, but certainly have been competitive. They lost those the three games by an average margin of less than 6 points per game. Brooklyn hasn't reached their stride yet, as they sort out the best way to utilize new faces, and own just a 1-point win in three tries. Take the points on the road team here.
