Monday, December 19th the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers meet for the first of two scheduled meetings. Utah will host the second meeting on January 10th.
Both teams last played Saturday with the Jazz getting pummelled 97-123 by a shorthanded Bucks squad while the Cavaliers needed overtime to defeat a decimated Mavericks team 100-99.
Last season the teams played twice splitting the series each winning on the opponent’s court. The Jazz holds the all-time record having bested the Cavaliers in 61 of their 110 matches.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
The Cavaliers boast the best home record (14-2) and have 20 wins in the tank but still haven’t convinced me they’re as good as their record indicates. Almost losing to the Mavericks without their main players available was yet another sign they’ve had some luck on their side.
The Jazz weren’t happy with their performance on Saturday, with Will Hardy and several players citing that disappointment in the post-game so I suspect they’ll be looking for a rebound effort in this outing.
