The road Jazz enter this contest coming off of a 125-119 win over the Atlanta Hawks. They entered that one as 4-point underdogs.
The home Wizards are coming off of a 113-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks. They were 5.5-point underdogs ahead of that one.
On the year, the Jazz are 10-3 ATS.
The Wizards are 6-5-1 ATS.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz are one of two teams as of this writing late Friday night with a clean injury report.
The Jazz so far this season average 118.1 points per game. That number puts the team in the No. 1 spot in the Association, but it doesn’t feel like Small Sample Size Theater—it feels sustainable.
Part of the reason it feels real is because Utah posts 113.2 points per 100 possessions—a number that slots them in at 4th for Offensive Efficiency when looking beyond the raw stats.
The other, of course, is because we’re not seeing any let-up from players like Lauri Markkanen and his 22.7 points per game (52.7 FG%, 34.1 3PT%), who came into Utah with something to prove.
This group has a whole roster proving they weren’t assembled simply to tank for Victor Wembanyama—they were build to compete.
Defensively, the Jazz are giving up 112.7 points per contest. So far in 2022-23, that number is good enough for No. 13.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, this group allows 107.5 points per 100 possessions. Across 30 teams, they rank 10th in that category, tying them with the Atlanta Hawks.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards on the year are scoring 107.5 points per game and in points per 100 possessions. Those numbers slot them in at 29th and 22nd, respectively, and the latter puts them in a tie with the San Antonio Spurs.
Defensively, Washington allows 110.6 points per night on average, placing them in 12th place.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, Washington is giving up 109.7 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 19th about 15 percent of the way through their 2022-23 schedule.
As of this writing on Friday night, Bradley Beal remains out. He has reportedly cleared health and safety protocols; however, the team is keeping him out against the Jazz.
Washington also lists Taj Gibson as doubtful, as well as Kristaps Porzingis day-to-day and probable.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
The Jazz continue to surprise the NBA, but at this point, we really have to re-think how we describe them.
Through 13 games, it’s no longer a surprise when they come through. It’s expected.
Oddsmakers have listed the Jazz as favorites in just three of their last 10 outings, but they’re favored them in this one by four points.
It would’ve been interesting to see where this line sat had Bradley Beal been declared ready to go for Saturday.
Alas, the Wizards star remains out, and I remain too high on Utah to get cute with any underdog stories.
Jazz win and cover.
