Utah has won six straight, and I think the Jazz can be finally trusted again after an amazing January and February string of covers. The hangover had to eventually happen, and it appears they are back to being focused and covering games. Memphis has won four of its last six with the only two losses coming at Utah. Jazz get the cover.
The big news for this game is that Donovan Mitchell (personal) is out for the Jazz. They are only 13-11 ATS on the road this season, so losing their top scoring option is going to make things even more difficult. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Grizzlies win this game outright in their return home from a four-game road trip, so give me the points.
This could be a trap game for two big reasons regarding the NBA-best Jazz: Leading scorer and All-Star Donovan Mitchell (25.7 ppg) will not play for personal reasons, and the team's original charter flight from Salt Lake City to Memphis had to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff Tuesday afternoon after striking a flock of birds. One could understand if the players are a bit shaken up. Utah is just 2-5 ATS in its past seven on the road, while Memphis is 6-1 ATS in its past seven at home. These teams played twice last week in Utah and the Jazz won both, but one was very close.
