Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 28-29
The Utah Jazz have had a lot of ups and downs this campaign, and they are not at their best now, as they won just one game out of five. This negative stretch has left them out of the play-in zone by 0.5 games, so they need to be much more consistent if they want to achieve their goals.
Offensively, the Jazz has been a very solid team since the start of the season averaging 117.5 points scored, and even after Mike Conley left, they have put up decent performances. However, they have not been able to record better results due to a defense that is among the worst in the league with an average of 117.1 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 25-32
Tyrese Haliburton’s injury seems to have marked a before and after in the Indiana Pacers’ campaign: they were on a great run and were even starting to close in on the top six in the Eastern Conference before the 22-year-old missed a few weeks with physical discomfort. But, even though he’s back, he hasn’t been at the same level of performance as he was earlier in the campaign.
At least returning to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse after losing to the Washington Wizards as visitors, last Saturday helped the Pacers bounce back a bit, given that they have shown their best performance on their home court this campaign, with a 17-13 record and an average of 116.7 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pacers are not going through their best moment, but this could be an ideal opportunity to get back on track given that they will be playing as locals. In fact, it is at home where they have been much more effective offensively; plus, they will face a Jazz defense that is usually very vulnerable, especially when visiting.
However, let’s keep in mind that the best the Jazz have done this campaign is offensively: they have Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson, who can be very dangerous when attacking. So, this won’t be a quiet night for a Pacers defense that averages 115.5 points allowed at home, either.
The last two meetings between these sides have covered the Over, so, considering the problems they have had on their side of the court and how strong they have looked in attack, we expect this to be an attractive matchup.
Prediction: Over.
