Toronto Raptors vs Utah Jazz prediction

The Toronto Raptors have looked better with the additions of Barrett and Quickley, but they could be without Siakam again and this will be their sixth straight road game. The Raptors probably just want to go home and stop all this traveling. Also, as I've said before, the Jazz continues to win and cover numbers and oddsmakers continue to give out strange lines. The Jazz have won 6 of their last 7 games, and they've covered 8 of their last 10 games. The Brink's Truck is currently in Utah. I'll lay the bucket.
