Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

The Utah Jazz are still struggling as they've now lost 10 of their last 13 games and they will be looking to snap a three-game skid after falling just short to the Wizards in a 125-122 road defeat on Wednesday. Johnny Juzang led the team in scoring with 27 points on 10 of 15 shooting, Kyle Filipowski added 23 points with 13 rebounds while Isaiah Collier chipped in with 19 points, six rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Jazz shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line. They struggled in the first half and had to work hard to cut a 16-point deficit to just two points before they ran out of time. The Jazz will take on the 76ers, Celtics, and Grizzlies after this game.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in poor form as they've lost nine of their last 13 games overall, but they will be aiming for a third straight win after sneaking past the Magic in a 114-113 road win on Tuesday. RJ Barrett led the team with 21 points, eight rebounds and nine assists, Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl and Ja'Kobe Walter scored 17 points each while Immanuel Quickley chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 30 from the 3-point line. The Raptors looked to be headed for loss when they wasted a 12-point lead to trail by two points with just 4.1 seconds left on the clock, before Walter saved the day with the game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer. The Raptors will play against the Wizards (b2b set), 76ers, Jazz, and Trail Blazers following this one.

Why the Toronto Raptors will win

  • The Raptors have won each of their last four games against the Jazz following a road win.
  • The Raptors have covered the spread in each of their last five games as favorites against Western Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games as road underdogs.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

  • The Jazz have won each of their last seven night games against Raptors teams that held a losing record.
  • The Jazz have covered the spread in each of their last five night games against Raptors teams that held a losing record.

Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Jazz are still missing a bunch of players including Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, and Lauri Markkanen, while the Raptors have ruled out Ochai Agbaji again and have decided to rest RJ Barrett for this meeting. You couldn't back either side with any confidence these days. But the Jazz are just so banged up right now that I have to lean towards the Raptors who at least have players like Barnes and Quickley to rely on in this spot.
