The Jazz enter play having won six of their last 10 games but are just 5-5 at the betting window over that same 10-game stretch. They’re 26-31 against the spread on the season, which includes a losing mark on the road of 12-15 ATS.
The Wizards are coming off a loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia but are still 8-2 over their last 10 games. They’re just 5-5 against the spread during that same span but are 32-24 against the number on the season, including 20-11 ATS at home.
OUR PREDICTION: I like backing good teams coming off losses when they’re playing at home the following game. The Wizards are 7-2 against the spread in their last nine games coming off a loss and are 17-5 at the betting window in their last 22 home games. The Jazz, meanwhile, have failed to cover in eight of their last 11 road games and are 8-20 at the betting window in their last 28 road games versus a team with a winning home record.
