Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in pretty good form, as they’ve won four of their last six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the Kings in a 139-118 road win on Thursday. VJ Edgecombe led the team with 38 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists on 16 of 28 shooting; Justin Edwards added 32 points on 11 of 18 shooting, while Quentin Grimes chipped in with 27 points and seven assists on 10 of 20 shooting, and Andre Drummond chipped in with 13 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 50 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early with 45 points in the first quarter to jump out to a double digit lead and they didn’t take their foot off the gas until the final buzzer to escape with the blowout win on the road.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a terrible slump, as they’ve lost 12 of their last 15 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after they put an end to a four-game slide with a 128-96 home win over the Bucks on Thursday. Ace Bailey led the team with 33 points, nine rebounds and four assists; Cody Williams and Elijah Harkless each scored 23 points, while Kyle Filipowski chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds. As a team, the Jazz shot 54 percent from the field and 18 of 48 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Bucks from the very start and dominated the first half by 64-44, before they finished with a flurry to secure the upset win at home in a complete blowout.

Jazz vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers have ruled out Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr and Joel Embiid, while the Jazz have ruled out Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson Jr. with John Konchar listed as questionable. The 76ers head into this contest as the team in better form and they really should be able to take down the Jazz despite their injuries. However, the Jazz sprung to life with a dominant win over the Bucks in their last outing and I think this is a good spot for them to spring another upset. Perhaps the 76ers still get the win on the road, but I think the line is just high enough to take the Jazz at home in this spot.
