Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz Prediction

I'm not running to the window to lay chalk with a Charlotte Hornets team that's lost nine of their last 10 games. However, the Hornets are as healthy as they've been all season and that means something, particularly in this matchup. The Utah Jazz are the most banged-up team in the league, with nearly their entire roster considered out. There are so many injuries, that you have to question if the Jazz are entering tank mode. How is everybody hurt?! Even with covers in seven of their last 10 games, I can't do anything with the Jazz and their injury situation. It's Hornets or pass for me.
