Jazz vs Wizards Prediction
The Wizards have ruled out Anthony Davis, Cam Whitmore, Trae Young, Tre Johnson and Alex Sarr, while the Jazz are still missing Lauri Markkanen, Jusuf Nurkic, Jaren Jackson Jr and Keyonte George with Kyle Filipowski and Cody Williams both listed as questionable. These two squads have already met once this season on Mar 5 and it was the Jazz who won by 122-112 on the road. You couldn’t trust either side with any confidence at all these days, as both teams have been terrible, but the Jazz have been able to snag a few nice wins at home this season and I think they can come out on top in this ugly matchup.
