76ers vs Jazz Prediction
The 76ers should be favored because they’re the better team and at home. The problem is the 76ers have been a joke all year, and they’re 22-40 ATS on the season. The 76ers have a lot of injuries, and they’ve lost 21 times at home. Laying points with the 76ers just isn’t something I’m in the business of doing. I’m well aware that the Jazz are in tank mode with all of their players who are sitting, but we’re not being asked to lay points. Also, the Jazz are a profitable 33-30 ATS on the season. The 76ers have the worst cover percentage in the NBA at 35.4 percent. The underdog has covered the last four games between the 76ers and Jazz. It’s the Jazz or pass for me.
