Free Utah Jazz vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
If one thing is certain, it’s that this contest is going to turn into a slog early. The Jazz run the No. 26 pace out of 30 teams in the NBA, while the Heat run the 27th.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Jazz +4.5
Although a 4.5-point spread isn’t exactly monumental, it could end up feeling like that when this one’s all said and done.
This game is going to be a low-scoring affair where neither team can break away.
The Heat should ultimately get the win straight up, but thinking it’ll be by five or more points is not advised at this juncture.
