Prediction:
Miami won the first meeting between these two at home, 107-104. The Heat are in the midst of a tough road trip and they aren’t a great road team. Utah seems to be getting back on track, though their wins have been all competitive games. The Heat are still piecing together their new pieces and figuring out where they fit in the East. Utah’s defense should be able to contain Miami and the Jazz’ recent offensive surge should continue in this game.
NBA Prediction: Utah Jazz -4.5
