Jazz vs. Kings Prediction and Pick
The Kings got off to a strong start against the Blazers, but they are in for a serious step up in class against the Jazz, and this line feels a few points too short.
Utah had the best net rating in the league last season and the league's best record. I expect them to exploit a Kings defense that was the worst by all accounts last season and get Donovan Mitchell going.
The Jazz didn't need much from their star guard, but he did shoot just 30% from the field in 28 minutes. Utah's defense is a much tougher test than Portland's and I expect we see the Kings to struggle in this one, and Utah gets another double digit victory.
Pick: Jazz -6.5
