The Philadelphia 76ers are still a banged up basketball team that's lost four straight and has failed to cover each of those games as well. The Utah Jazz are in a bit of a funk as well, but they've been winning and covering machines for the most part dating back to last season. The Jazz win at home by an average of 5.7 points. Thick number, but the Jazz have been so kind to us, dating back to last year. I'll back the healthier team in the Jazz at home.
