Sacramento Kings vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Utah Jazz just haven’t been able to play a complete game of basketball yet, and I doubt that changes at the end of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings have issues defensively, but the offensive production is there. The Kings have also won 6 of the last 7 games against the Jazz, and most of those games haven’t been close. If the Kings are going to make a playoff push, these are games they need to win. The Jazz are having issues finding an identity early, and now just lost Hendricks to a nasty injury. I’ll lay the points with the Kings.
