It's weird seeing the Utah Jazz in this favorite role given their current form, but oddsmakers must know something. Also, the Indiana Pacers head into this game, losing their last 5 games by an average of 7.8 points while shooting just 41.4 percent from the field. The Pacers need to break out of this offensive funk before they can be trusted on the road. Give me the Jazz and the chalk if forced to pick.
