Heat at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Jazz 122, Heat 119
The Heat are only 8-15 on the road this season and 1-5 in their last 6 away games.
The Jazz are 10-13 at home this season, but they have allowed no fewer than 122 points in their last 6 games, allowing an average of 130.2 points per game.
Now, the Heat have been allowing a lot of points, too, allowing 123.1 over their last 9 games.
The Jazz have alternated wins and losses in Salt Lake City over their last 7 home games and are coming off a loss.
That, combined with the Heat’s struggles on the road, makes for an appealing upset.
BET JAZZ (+195).
The Heat’s last 7 ATS losses have also been outright losses.
With plus odds for the Jazz ML, if you like them to win outright, that is the best bet.
PASS.
Only 3 of the Heat’s last 10 games have reached 247 total points.
Five of the Jazz’s last 9 have not. Only one of their last 4 wins have reached 247.
BET UNDER 246.5 (-110).
