Memphis has been terrible all season, unable to find anything that works. It looks like their latest strategy is to try to go uptempo, and relax on defense. They have allowed 97+ in five straight games and they are scoring a lot more too. Over their last five games they are averaging 101.4 to 105.2. Utah remains hot and they are scoring 102.4 per game on the road. Surprisingly, their defense has been very bad as they have given up 102.7 per game on the road this season. The Jazz have been an OVER team the past two seasons going OVER 61-47 overall including 29-17 OVER when facing a losing team. This season, they are a perfect 7-0 OVER after a low scoring UNDER game (last game they went UNDER vs. Charlotte). They lost that game too and they are an incredible 19-3 OVER the past two seasons following a loss. Look for Utah to run here and for Memphis to accomodate.
