Utah at Cleveland

Premium Pick

The Utah Jazz season was over very early last year when they started the season with a long losing streak. They started better this season, but soon went on a 1-12 run that sealed their fate once again. They are 14-27 on the season, but a decent 13-15 outside the poor 13-game streak, and have played relatively well lately as they are above .500 over their last 15 games, so we definitely get some value here on a misleading 14-27 team. Cleveland has won three straight, but he defense remains an issue and covering big numbers and playing on one end is not easy. The Cavs are off a pair of big wins vs. Chicago, and the LA Clippers, and could easily be a no-show and keep the game interesting. The Jazz are 8-3 ATS following a loss in their last 11 and have been a lot more competitive than their record. Play on Utah.
