The Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Heat are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 overall. The under is 5-2 in Heat last 7 overall. The Jazz are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Miami and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Utah Jazz are a tough team to turn down with plus money given how dominant they’ve been both SU and ATS dating back to last season. However, the Jazz are banged up with injuries, and that includes Mitchell. Also, this line tells me there’s a good chance Lowry is good to go for the Heat. The Miami Heat are also coming off an embarrassing home loss to the Celtics, so you know they’ll be out for a bounce back showing. Give me the Heat.
