Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 31-34
For a significant part of the first half of the NBA season, Utah surpassed everyone’s expectations. However, it became evident that the team’s board of directors was not solely focused on the present when it traded away crucial players such as Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, and Mike Conley at the deadline.
A good bet to make is the average number of blocks per game rookie Walker Kessler has, which is typically set at 1.5. In the two games that he has played in March, the young center has averaged 4.5 blocks per game.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 27-38
Orlando was not expected by many analysts to contend for a playoff spot or Play-In this season, but the Florida team’s young roster has shown faster development than what was anticipated.
Paolo Banchero, who is the likely Rookie of the Year recipient. as well as other players like Franz Wagner, Markelle Fulz, and Jalen Suggs, have shown impressive performances throughout the season. Consequently, the franchise must be satisfied with the outcomes its players have achieved, even if they do not ultimately reach their goal of qualifying for the playoffs.
