Jazz vs Cavaliers Prediction

The Jazz aren’t trying to win games at this stage of the season, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Cavs take out some frustration and win by 30 points. The problem is the Cavs have lost four straight games, all of which came in the big favorite role. The Cavaliers haven’t shown any signs of life defensively this week.

The Cavs are also 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a double-digit favorite, and 3-6 ATS in their last nine games as a double-digit favorite. And while the Jazz have racked up the losses at a crazy clip, they are a profitable team at 37-34 ATS on the season. I need to see the Cavs right the ship before I can get involved with these numbers, and it could be tricky for a team playing a fourth straight road game. It’s Jazz and the points or pass for me.
