Betting on the Utah Jazz
The Jazz won two tough games against the Pelicans, and that left them very close to the Blazers and the Kings, teams they can overtake if they keep winning. Moving up so many positions in the West would put them close to being leaders, which is no small thing.
One of the two games against New Orleans was hard for them. Still, they won it in overtime 132-129 with a very good game from Jordan Clarkson, who scored 39 points in what has been his best game of the season.
A mentioned before, they need to win to climb positions and get very close to fight for the first place in the conference, but they are visitors in this game, and in that condition they have not been doing so well. They have a 6-9 record and they have not won away from Salt Lake City since November 20, which means that they have not won at home for four consecutive games.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are one of the best teams in the East, and they threaten both the Bucks and the Celtics at the top of the conference. This is no small thing, and it shows that they are a very good, balanced and an effective team.
They have only lost 2 games in the last 5 games they have played, and they have suffered only 4 losses in the last 10 games. With Donovan Mitchell, they have been performing very good, and the player has been pretty good on offense for three games in a row now. Against Indiana, in a 118-112 win, he scored 41 points, and has three games of at least 30 points scored.
At home they have only lost two games. The team’s goal is to keep winning because it is currently one game behind the Bucks. Giannis’ team must be put under pressure, but to do so, it must defeat a Jazz team that is not in bad shape.
JefeBet Prediction
Cleveland arrives to this game in a much better situation, and it has a more balanced team. Our prediction is that the Cavaliers will continue going through their good momentum, and that they will go after the Bucks.
The Jazz will lose, but judging by the way they have been playing, they will recover soon. They have a very good team, but it may not be enough for them in Cleveland. Utah is bouncing back up, but the Cavaliers are being much more consistent, and that’s going to take its toll on them.
