Jazz vs Kings prediction
The Jazz are big underdogs time and time again, but they've failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. Now the Jazz are without their best players in Markkanen and Clarkson. Collins is questionable for the Jazz with a back injury. The Kings are fighting for the best playoff seed possible, and they're at their best at home where they're 21-15 SU. The Kings beat the Jazz by 21 points back in December. Thick line, but the Jazz are a bad and injured team. Give me the Kings in a home beat down over the Jazz.
