The Utah Jazz had the worst start of any NBA team last season, and staved off that dubious distinction this year. The Jazz have, however, gone through a recent nine-game losing streak. They have since recovered to win four of their last five, but the losses have been competitive as indicated by their 4-1 ATS run since breaking the slide. Orlando at 10-18 has been nothing Magical this season, or since parting ways with Dwight Howard for that matter. The Magic have been fortunate to have the 10 wins they have as four of them have been by 3 points or less, and another in OT. They've and a pair of others by a scant 5 points. When they win, they barely seem to slip by, and it isn't often they even find the win column. The Jazz have been great on a day of rest at 11-4 ATS in their last 15, and have gone 4-0 ATS in their last four trips to Orlando. Play on Utah.
