Utah Jazz Preview

Lauri Markkanen leads the Jazz, averaging 29.3 points per game and providing steady scoring from the field as well as at the charity stripe. Keyonte George adds 21.3 points and 7.1 assists, giving Utah another option who can create shots and push the pace. Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkić have provided scoring and rebounding.

The Jazz allow 123.7 points per game and average 7.1 steals and 3.7 blocks, but the defense continues to be an issue, especially on the road. Utah has dropped five of its last seven and has struggled to slow opposing guards. Kyle Anderson is questionable, and Taylor Hendricks and Georges Niang are out, thinning Utah’s forward depth. Betting on sports and on the Jazz is easy, but even easier if you use the best sportsbooks.
