BETTING TRENDS

Utah are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Utah's last 12 games.

Charlotte are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.

Charlotte are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 games at home.

Prediction

These are two of the best offenses in the league, Utah are ranked #6 in offense averaging 113 ppg while Hornets is #5 averaging 119 ppg in their last 10 games. The Jazz have struggled on the road lately losing 4 of their last 5 and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 on the road. The Hornets have also struggle at home lately covering only 4 of their last 17 games in Charlotte. Utah are 9-1 in the last 10 head to head vs Hornets, I think they'll bounce back and steal this win on the road.

PICK: Jazz -3.5 (-110)
