UTAH Jazz -15
Minnesota is atrocious. Let's get that out of the way right now. One of several teams in the league just playing out the string, the Twolves have lost ten straight games and failed to cover in their last six. Last night may have been the worst effort yet as they were blitzed by Phoenix 152-114, a season-high allowed in points for sure, in fact it was the most points allowed by ANY NBA team this year and the most points ever allowed in a game in franchise history. Overall, the team has lost 16 of its last 17 games. They are 2-10 ATS this season when on a losing streak of seven games or more. That speaks to the team's effort level or lack their of it. It also speaks to how bad they are as they've played 12 games this season where they came in on a losing streak of seven games or more! This is NOT the spot for them to get back on track at all considering they are playing without rest in Utah, which has been a nightmare spot for visitors all season long. The Jazz are 10-0 ATS this season against unrested visitors when they themselves are coming off at least a day of rest with an average margin of victory coming by an average of 19.8 PPG. Remember those defensive issues we spoke of with Minnesota? Well, Utah is averaging 112 points per game in this spot. Last time in this situation, they blew out the Clippers 107-85. They've scored in triple digits in 9 of the 10 games. The Jazz are 21-10 ATS as a home favorite this year and 13-4 ATS after scoring 110+ points in their previous game. They are coming off a blowout of Washington here at home 112-89. Utah is our 15* Western Conference Game of the Week
