Wizards vs. Jazz Prediction and Odds: Bet Utah to Stay Hot
By Reed Wallach
Quietly, the Utah Jazz have amassed a 20-8 record and are neck-and-neck with the Warriors in terms of net rating this season.
Donovan Mitchell has continued his ascent to superstardom, averaging nearly 25 points and 5 assists on the year.
Meanwhile, the Wizards have slowed up after a hot start, falling to .500 on the year as the team has lost all three games on their current west coast road trip.
Can the Wiz get back on track, or will the Jazz stay hot at home?

Wizards vs. Jazz Prediction and Pick
Keep an eye on the status of key Jazz players after the team played a back-and-forth game with the Spurs Friday night, a two point loss, but let's act as if both Mitchell and Rudy Gobert will play.
This is a rematch of last Saturday's matchup in Washington D.C., which the Jazz won handedly, 123-98 as seven point road favorites. While keeping in mind that the Jaz played last night, I believe this spread is underrating how how the team has been and how bad the Wizards have been of late.
The team has dropped eight of their last ten including four straight. Further, the team is 4-13-1 against the spread this season on the road.
Washington has been playing like a non playoff team for an extended period of time while the Jazz look the part of a Finals contender. You can lay the points even on a back-to-back.
PICK: Jazz -10
