The Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers meet Saturday in NBA summer league action at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.

Utah Jazz Betting Preview

The Jazz summer league roster is headlined by rookies Walter Clayton Jr. and Ace Bailey. Clayton is the shot maker and playmaker, while Bailey is a projected star who can make plays at both ends of the floor. There’s also experienced players on this Jazz roster including Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski, and Cody Williams who started a combined 94 games last season. While those names will steal all of the attention, RJ Luis Jr. is another player to watch, as he was the Big East POY and was key to turning around St. John’s. The Jazz have their star rookies and three NBA names we’re familiar with on this roster, making Utah an intriguing team to watch in the summer league.  

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The 76ers summer league roster will provide our first glimpse of rookies VJ Edgecombe and John Broome. An explosive athlete who can shoot and defend, Edgecombe is crucial to getting the Jazz on the right track. The rest of this 76ers roster is made up of returning players such as Justin Edwards, Adem Bona, Alex Reese, and Jalen Hood-Schifino. Hunter Sallis is also on this 76ers roster, and he was a two-time All-ACC selection with Wake Forest. Due to so many injuries last season for the 76ers, a lot of young guys got to play NBA minutes, which should help in summer league action.

Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

I considered the 76ers and the points because there are a lot of guys on this roster who saw NBA minutes last season and should bully their way in the summer league. However, the Jazz will have help from the home crowd. Also, this Jazz roster has a trio that started nearly 100 combined games last season. This also feels like it could be the Ace Bailey show as he’s a talented rookie and should have a fire in his belly with the negative press he’s had lately. I’ll lay the points with the Jazz.
