The Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

The Utah Jazz are still a banged up team a bit and are on the end of a back to back, but backing the Magic isn’t much of an option. The Orlando Magic are making an early case for worst team in the league, and they don’t cover numbers despite being big underdogs most nights. This line is thick, but the Jazz have been covering machines dating back to last season. I have no choice but to lay the chalk.
