The Jazz are a 3.5-point road favorite and have gone 5-0 ATS in their last five games. Their moneyline odds sit at -154. Washington comes back at +138 and owns a 4-1 ATS record in their previous five contests.

Utah and Washington split the season series last year winning one game apiece.

Jazz Betting Analysis

Absolutely no one could’ve predicted the Jazz would be at the top of the Western Conference with a 10-3 record but that’s very much the case at the moment. Utah ranks fourth in offensive rating and 11th on the defensive side of the ball, showing a lot of promise on both ends.

This current winning streak is very impressive, too. They’ve defeated the Lakers on two occasions, the Clippers, and as previously mentioned, the Hawks mid-week. Lauri Markkanen erupted for a season-high 32 points to lead the charge while going 6 for 8 from downtown.

Jordan Clarkson also had 23 and Malik Beasley added 18.

The Jazz shot a blistering 44% from deep against the top three-point defense in the league, finding lots of clean looks thanks to tremendous ball movement. After getting outscored by 14 points in the third, Utah really bounced back in the final period, putting up 40 points to just 26 for Atlanta.

The Jazz have won three consecutive away from home, but it’s important to note all three of their losses are on the road.

Wizards Betting Analysis

Washington is currently without Bradley Beal, who remains in COVID-19 protocol. He won’t play Saturday either but the Wizards are still managing to get by regardless. First, they beat the slumping Hornets on Monday then Thursday, Wes Unseld Jr’s group handed Luka and the Mavs a loss.

This was truly the Kyle Kuzma show. The former Laker erupted for 36 points to make up for the loss of Beal, absolutely torching Dallas. Kuz also grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out six dimes, truly doing a little bit of everything. Rui Hachimura contributed 23 points off the bench in one of his best games of the campaign, too.

Washington had a hot hand all night, shooting 49% from the field, 40% from three, and 95% from the charity stripe. The Wizards also outscored the Mavs 52-36 in the paint, imposing their will. This group is finding some confidence with Beal sidelined and should put up a good fight Saturday.

Jazz vs Wizards Prediction

I’m all aboard the Jazz train. They’re firing on all cylinders and I think that’ll continue here. Take Utah to cover on Saturday, improving to 11-3 in the process.

Pick: Jazz -3.5 (-114)
