Another 4-1 night in the books, and I’m telling you guys this feels different. Of course I did an insane deep dive earlier this week and that’s definitely helping, but I also think things are starting to make at least a little more sense.
Onto more WINS – these will be our only two plays today. Love what we’re doing – let’s not ruin it with too much exposure.
Jazz -6 (-110), to win 2 units
Jazz 1H TT over 57.5 (-115), to win 1 unit
I hope everyone got this number, but it’s at a friendly -6.5 at most books now and I’d take that, too. Up to you if you’d rather put less units on that line. This game adds up beautifully for Utah. First, the psychology of it all. Washington already beat the Jazz once when Utah was floundering and the Wizards found a rhythm, but that’s not reminiscent of who they are now. Utah has one game left before they can enjoy a long holiday weekend at home, while the Wizards are on the FIFTH LEG of a horrific 6-game road trip that ends tomorrow, so this is the first night of a back to back. Washington also won their last contest, a big W in Phoenix, but that was more because of the Suns’ turning it over and fouling way too much. The Jazz are an AMAZING transition team and the Wizards, well, are not. They can’t stop it and they’re not good at responding with fast points of their own. This game is all about who controls the tempo and we strongly feel Utah will command it. It’s a way better spot for a more potent offensive team, and I think they take Washington to the barn and beat em up. Oh yea, and Kristaps Porzingis showed up as questionable on the injury report, too. Utah averages 58 ppg in the first half, too, and the line is telling us that Utah, as the favorite, is going to SCORE tonight. Go Jazz!
