Kings vs Jazz NBA Preview, Predictions
This is mostly just on principle. Both of these teams are truly terrible, with bottom-seven offenses and defenses in the half court. Even their transition play isn’t great. In fact, there’s nothing these teams do well and very little that gives one team a big edge over the other.
However, I just can't get to a place where Utah should be favored here. Sacramento is 4-4 ATS without Domantas Sabonis. The Kings are 5-5 this season as road 'dogs, all against better teams than Utah. Will Hardy is 20-23 (47%) ATS as a home favorite in his career.
I don't even think Utah is that bad, and I certainly don't think the Kings are good, but I can't reach a point where Utah should be laying points.
The over is a much safer play here, as it doesn't rely on Sacramento being competent in any aspect. This season, the average total for Utah games is 236.6, per KillerSports.com. When the total is higher than that in Jazz games, the over is 9-6 (60%). I make this all the way up to 250.
A lot of that comes from the home trend in Utah: games there have gone over by an average — not total, an average — of 21 points per game. Six of the nine have gone over by 20 or more points.
