Recent Performances

Washington Wizards:

Utah Jazz:

The Jazz have been struggling lately, losing multiple games in a row. Their recent defeat against Miami underscores their inconsistencies. Facing a Wizards team at the bottom of the standings could present challenges if they underestimate their opponent.

Injuries and Player Matchups

The Wizards are awaiting the return of Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Bilal Coulibaly, whose presence could provide a boost to their lineup. With these potential reinforcements and their starters stepping up, the Wizards could make this game closer than expected.

Utah Jazz:

Prediction

Despite their record, the Wizards have shown resilience and the ability to compete, especially against teams that are struggling themselves. Facing a Jazz team on a downward trend, the Wizards have an opportunity to keep this game within reach.

If the Wizards can exploit the Jazz's recent inconsistencies and capitalize on their offensive strengths, particularly with Kuzma leading the charge, they stand a good chance of covering the +10.5 points spread.

Pick: Washington Wizards +10.5
