Utah at Toronto

A pair of top 10 defensive teams clash in this one. Utah is seventh in the NBA in points allowed, off a 98-95 win at Detroit. Utah shot under 40 percent and made just 12 free throws, but won with that tough defense. Center Rudy Gobert has 13 blocked shots in four games since returning from a knee injury. The offense is #26 in points scored and Jazz guard Rodney Hood (leg) has missed three straight games, currently day-to-day. The team is 7-1 UNDER the total after a victory and faces a Toronto squad that is ninth in points allowed, fifth in field goal shooting defense. Toronto is on a 7-3 run UNDER the total at home and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Back the UNDER.
