Opinion – Utah (-5 ½) over ORLANDO

Orlando has established themselves as the second worst team in the NBA (and closing fast on Philly) thanks to the combination of bad shooting (41.5% FG) and bad defense (46.9% FG allowed). Utah is among the top half of the NBA and the Jazz are 4-0 straight up against below average teams, winning those games by an average of 14 points (Lakers, Dallas, at New York, and at Philly). Utah is coming off a loss at Charlotte and, combined with the fact that they lost both meeting to the Magic last year, the Jazz should be focused tonight. In fact, the combination of coming off a loss and having revenge sets up the Jazz in a 129-65-3 ATS road favorite situation. George Hill is expected to miss his 3rd consecutive game for the Jazz but my ratings still favor Utah by 6 ½ points with Hill out and the situation is favorable. I’ll lean with the Jazz at -6 or less.
