Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz Prediction
I considered the Utah Jazz and the points because they've covered 4 straight games, but now they're back home where they're 2-10 SU on the season. The Philadelphia 76ers are getting healthier and have won 7 of their last 10 games, which includes a massive Christmas upset over the Celtics. That does create a bit of a letdown spot, but this has more to do with my lack of confidence in the Jazz than anything else. The Jazz aren't good. I'll side with the 76ers in a double-digit road victory.
