The home Magic come into this one off a 134-123 home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, in which they entered as 2.5-point favorites and failed to cover for the second game in a row and the third time in their last five overall.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Neither the Jazz nor the Magic are world-beaters at the moment, but both have been surprises in different ways at different times this season.
Right now, both teams sit in the 13th spot in their respective conferences, and both need a win.
Jazz Could Play Spoiler
At Magic -3, a Jazz victory ATS feels like the play here. But I’m willing to take it one step further.
If Jordan Clarkson and/or Walker Kessler are able to upgrade their statuses and suit up, Utah feels like a not-so-sneaky underdog moneyline pick on Thursday.
All in all, give this one to the road Jazz.
