The Heat are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. The under is 4-1 in Heat last 5 overall. The under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 Saturday games. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

You're never sure which Miami Heat team is going to show up, but they have been a lot more competitive lately and the trust is slowly building as they hang around a .500 record. The Utah Jazz have come back to earth over these last two weeks, and they only win in the favorite role by an average of 2.4 points. I think it's fair to say the Heat are the better side. Both teams on the end of back to backs. Give me the free bucket with the Heat.
