Heat vs. Jazz Prediction:
The Heat look for their fifth straight victory, while the Jazz look to bounce back from Thursday’s loss.
Take Utah in this one. Miami is playing some good basketball; however, I think the injuries finally catch up to them in this one. As of writing this Jimmy Butler and Jaime Jaquez are both listed as questionable, I don’t think the Heat rush back Butler from his calf injury and Jaquez (Illness) likely won’t be 100% if he does end up playing. Utah has been good at home this season with an 8-5 record and after Miami played Golden State on Thursday and now traveling to Salt Lake City. This feels like a bad spot all around for Miami.
NBA BETTING PREDICTION: Jazz +1.5
