Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets NBA Regular Season Game on April 2, 2023
- Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York
- When: Sunday, April 2, 2023, 3:30 PM E.T.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 36-41
The Jazz had a tough time last Friday against the Boston Celtics, losing 114-122. It was their fifth defeat in the last six games. Talen Horton-Tucker had an impressive performance, scoring 28 points, but it was clear that the absence of their top offensive weapon, Lauri Markkanen, was sorely felt. Markkanen has missed the last two games and has not been confirmed for the upcoming match.
This rough patch the Jazz team has been going through, taint with its hopes of securing a spot in the play-in round. They are currently twelfth in the Western Conference, 1.5 games away from their goal,that is why they know they have to approach every game from now on as if it were a championship showdown.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 42-35
After winning only one out of seven games, the Nets have finally caught back their breath with two wins in a row. They defeated the Houston Rockets last Wednesday and a tough opponent like the Atlanta Hawks in their most recent game. Mikal Bridges’ outstanding performance of 42 points led the team to a 107-124 victory.
This win has kept the Brooklyn team in sixth place in the East, with a 2.0 game lead over their closest pursuer, the Miami Heat. The Nets will try to increase that lead now that they are back home, where they have shown their best performance, with a record of 21-16 and an average of 110.2 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
Although not the most dangerous offensive team, the Nets have been on a roll lately thanks to Bridges and Spencer Dinwiddie, who have taken advantage of the weaknesses of poor defenses like the Rockets’ and the Hawks’. They’ll try to do the same here against a Jazz team that averages 119.1 points allowed on the road.
The Jazz’s main asset this season has been their offense, but with Markkanen out of the court, their attacking power is greatly reduced. Facing a team like the Nets, who know how to defend, is not the best case scenario for them.
The Jazz’s away problems have been present throughout the season. That’s why we expect the Nets to continue building up on their good results and secure another victory in this game.
