Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Sacramento Kings have enough talent to turn things around, but their defensive effort just hasn’t been it, and it’s concerning. The Utah Jazz continue to compete at both ends of the floor, and a hard fought win over the Mavs should only encourage this group and bring them closer together. It hasn’t always been pretty with the Jazz throughout the summer league, but this roster gets after it at both ends. We’re not being asked to lay much. I’ll side with the Jazz and the small chalk on Monday night.
