Utah, after a couple of losses and a tough game against the Timberwolves on Saturday, will play the second of a back-to-back against Memphis on Sunday night.
The Grizzlies mounted a massive comeback on Friday against the Warriors and got a win in OT, so they’ll look to ride that momentum into Sunday and beat the Jazz.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz are a wonderful team defensively and lead the league in opponent’s points per game (95.3).
There’s not going to be a massive amount of scoring when a team comes up against Utah.

This should bode well against a Memphis team that isn’t exactly a top scoring offense to begin with.
For Utah, on the offensive side, it’s been all Gordon Hayward. He’s having the best season of his career, averaging just over 22 points per game along with six rebounds.
He’s emerged as the leader of this team but he’s definitely had some help.
Shooting guard Rodney Hood has been a solid piece for the Jazz, averaging over 14 points per game. And the newest acquisition, George Hill, is having a great year after a disappointing season last year with Indiana.

He’s averaging 19 points per game but unfortunately will miss Sunday’s game due to concussion symptoms.
For the Jazz to take care of Memphis, the offense will need to be on point, despite missing George Hill. With Gordon Hayward leading the squad, the Jazz have a great chance to win, especially with such a stifling defense.
Memphis Grizzlies
After starting 2017 with losses to both Los Angeles teams, the Grizzlies found their footing and made a fantastic comeback against the Warriors on Friday night.
Overall, it’s been a solid season for Memphis, which sits in 6th in the tough Western Conference right now.
Much like the Jazz, the Grizzlies don’t score a whole lot but they don’t let their opponents score a whole lot either.
Memphis ranks 3rd in the league in opponent’s points per game at 99.1 and the team will look to limit the Utah scorers and keep this game close.

Center Marc Gasol has been having the best scoring season of his career, averaging just under 20 points per game, along with six rebounds.
The offense plays through him and he can score multiple ways, including from the perimeter.
Guard Mike Conley is also having a career year, averaging 19 points per game on 44% shooting.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Utah is 2-7 ATS in the last nine games
- The Total has gone UNDER in five of Utah’s last six games
- The OVER is 4-1 in Memphis’ last five games
Free Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
This should be a low scoring affair, one where the Jazz will have the advantage thanks to Gordon Hayward. I like the Jazz to take the W on the road.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Utah ML
Utah’s defense is so good and their offense is a little better than Memphis’ offense. I like the Utah moneyline for this one.
