Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 3/9/25 NBA Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Utah Jazz at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.

The Utah Jazz have been in a real funk as they've lost 11 of their last 14 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game slide after getting beaten by the Raptors in a 118-109 road defeat on Friday. Walker Kessler led the team with 18 points, 25 rebounds, and eight blocks, Keyonte George added 18 points with eight assists off the bench, Collin Sexton added 17 points while Kyle Filipowski chipped in with 17 points on seven of 10 shooting. As a team, the Jazz shot 46 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the urgency of the Raptors and were always playing from behind after scoring just 19 points in the second quarter. In fact, the Jazz trailed in this one by as many as 16 points before they finished with a flurry of points to cut the margin to single digits. The Jazz will face the Celtics and Grizzlies following this one.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a terrible slump as they've lost 12 of their last 13 games and they will be eager to snap a three-game slide after getting thrashed by the Celtics in a 123-105 road defeat on Thursday. Kelly Oubre Jr led the team in scoring with 27 points, six assists, and three steals, Lonnie Walker added 17 points off the bench while Justin Edwards chipped in with 14 points, but no other player scored more than 10 points. As a team, the 76ers shot just 42 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they looked outmatched from the start, falling into an early double-digit deficit that ballooned to 30 points at one stage. The 76ers will take on the Hawks, Raptors, Pacers, and Mavericks after this game.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

• The Jazz have lost each of their last 10 road games following a loss.
• The 76ers have won each of their last 13 Sunday night games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games as underdogs when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The favorites have covered the spread in each of the 76ers' last three games.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

• The 76ers have lost seven of their last eight games as favorites.
• The road team has won each of the last four games between the Jazz and 76ers.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last nine games as favorites.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in 11 of the 76ers' last 13 games at Wells Fargo Center.

The Jazz are still missing players like John Collins, Lauri Markkanen, and Jordan Clarkson, while the 76ers have again ruled out Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey to name a few. You couldn't find two worse teams to watch basketball at the moment as both teams are just plagued with injuries at the moment. It's hard to pick out any positives from recent form, so I don't understand why the 76ers would be so heavily favored in this spot. I actually think the Jazz have been the slightly better team lately and I think they can at least keep this one close at the end.
