Sacramento Kings vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Sacramento Kings are the better team on paper and should win this game in an ideal world. The problem is, the Kings haven’t played much defense through a handful of games, and they’ve now lost 7 of their last 8 preseason games. The Utah Jazz are shooting nearly 48 percent from the field this preseason and have to be drooling at the Kings effort defensively. I’ll take a stab with the home dog in this spot. Give me the Jazz.
