Utah Jazz
The Jazz nearly pulled off an upset against the Portland Trail Blazers. A 103-102 loss counts as a loss straight up, but they were clear winners ATS with the spread in Portland’s favor nine points entering the contest.
Entering Memphis, the spread is lower but the odds are further stacked against their favor. Memphis is a great defensive team, and the Jazz will need a stellar offense to put up a fight.
On the year, Utah is 23rd in terms of points per game. The squad is scoring 95.9 points per contest, compared to 98.4 points per game allowed — the 11th-best number in the league.
The Jazz have played well against the spread as of late, but that has more to do with the high spreads that have been placed against them and less to do with their actual play.
