Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 2/1/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

The Utah Jazz and the Toronto Raptors duke it out at the Scotiabank Arena on Sunday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Pick.

Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

The Utah Jazz have been in a terrible slump as they’ve lost 15 of their last 18 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game slide after getting beaten by the Nets in a 109-99 loss on Friday. Keyonte George led the team with 26 points and seven assists on nine of 11 shooting, Brice Sensabaugh added 18 points off the bench while Kyle Filipowski chipped in with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

As a team, the Jazz shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 29 from the 3-point line as they fought hard in the second quarter to erase an early 14-point deficit. They were right in the contest until the Nets opened the fourth quarter on a pivotal 8-0 run to start to pull away. Svi Mykhailiuk had a rough game as he shot just one of six from the field to finish with just three points.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors look to have cooled off from their four-game win streak as they are now looking to snap a two-game skid after getting beaten by the Magic in a 130-120 road defeat on Friday. Brandon Ingram led the team with 35 points on 13 of 23 shooting, Scottie Barnes added 19 points with eight rebounds and six assists while RJ Barrett chipped in with 16 points and five assists.

As a team, the Raptors shot 52 percent from the field and seven of 28 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to take a narrow lead into halftime. They exploded for 42 points in the third quarter to push the margin out to 14 points, but that wasn’t enough to get the job done. The Raptors got outscored by 44-21 in the fourth quarter to lose by double digits in the end.

Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Jazz are still missing Georges Niang and Elijah Harkless, with Keyonte George, Jusuf Nurkic and Kevin Love all questionable, while the Raptors have ruled out Jakob Poeltl once again. The Jazz haven’t been able to get anything going at all lately and their confidence took another gut shot after losing to the slumping Nets in their last outing.

The Raptors haven’t been at their best themselves, but they definitely should have beaten the Magic in their last game, and I think they can atone for that mistake with relative ease against this ice-cold Jazz team. Give me the Raptors to bounce back with a comfortable win and cover at home in this spot.
