Red-Hot Jazz Have Shown No Signs of Slowing Down
The Utah Jazz are running red-hot right now and have won nine straight games ahead of a six-game homestand. In that span, the Jazz have been a fantastic wager by going 8-1 ATS. Utah kicks things off in Salt Lake City against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
Utah moved above .500 for the first time since it was 13-13 in a 115-96 win over Portland on Sunday to extend the franchise’s longest winning streak since 2010. The last time a Jazz team won at least 10 in a row was back in February 2009, when they captured 12 straight. Rookie sensation Donovan Mitchell continued his assault on Sunday thanks to a team-high 27-point effort.
Injuries are starting to take their toll on the Spurs right now, as Dejounte Murray and Tony Parker both sat out Saturday’s 122-105 loss to Golden State. Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is expected to sit out tonight’s contest with a knee injury. As of this writing, Murray and Parker were questionable for the matchup vs the Jazz.
While the Jazz have been cashing tickets lately, they’ve also been a fantastic OVER wager. In Utah’s last seven games, the OVER is 5-2.
