Brooklyn Nets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets continue to fall apart, as they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games and have failed to cover seven of those games. The Nets made some trades and it wouldn’t be shocking if they’re going through their full tank mode. However, that doesn’t mean we make the Jazz favorites. This is the first time the Jazz have been a favorite since March of last year. The Jazz are on the end of a back-to-back, and they’re 2-14 SU at home. The Nets aren’t good but have seen eight of their 13 wins this season come on the road. It’s strange to see the Jazz in the favorite role regardless of opponent, and there are things that make you scratch your head even more. There are better options out there on Sunday’s NBA card, but I’m not laying points with the Jazz. So, it’s Nets or pass for me.Â
