The Kings are coming into this game with a 3-3 record overall and they are 3-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. The Kings have won 2 of their last 3 games but they just had their 2 game winning streak snapped with a loss in their last game coming into this one. They lost to the Dallas Mavericks 105-99 on Sunday night in a game that they went down early in the first quarter and tried to claw their way back throughout the game but just could not do it in the end losing the game. Richaun Holmes led the team in points in that game with 22 while Harrison Barnes was next on the team with 15 points. Barnes led the team in assists in that game with 5 while Holmes led the team in rebounds with 13. Their entire offense in that game was basically made up of those two players. Their offense is averaging 109 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 111.8 PPG against them. The Kings opened their last game as a 5.5 point underdog with that line closing around 4.5 points while the point total opened at 228.5 and closed around 218 points dropping by 10 points throughout the day. The Kings did not cover the spread in that game losing by 6 points to just miss the spread cover while the game stayed under the total with 204 total points.

 

 

The Jazz are coming into this game with a 5-1 record overall and they are 2-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They started the season off great winning their first 4 games before losing their first game of the season the other night. They bounced back from that first loss with a win in their last game on Sunday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. They won that game 107-95 in a game in which they took the lead in the first quarter and never gave it back as they maintained their lead for the entire game. Donovan Mitchell led the team in points in that game with 28 while Mike Conley was next on the team with 20 points. Conley, Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and Royce O'Neale all led the team in assists in that game with 2 each while Gobert led the team in rebounds with 13. Their offense is averaging 111.2 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 98.3 PPG against them. The Jazz opened their last game as a 1 point underdog with that line closing around 5 but with the Jazz favored while the point total opened at 224.5 and closed around 222 points. The Jazz covered the spread in that game despite the line swing winning by 12 points while the game stayed under the total with 202 total points.

 

 

The Jazz are coming into this game as a 9 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jazz just smashed the Bucks by 12 points in their last game and their team has only gotten stronger since starting the season 4-0 as Mike Conley has returned to their lineup. The Jazz have too much talent on their side and they look like they will be finishing in 1st place of the Western Conference yet again this season. The best bet to place in this game is on the Jazz to cover the spread here at home.

"I'd take our odds with him shooting a 40-footer, and he made it. So, give him credit. It was actually a good defensive possession for us up to that point." - Luke Walton on their loss to the Mavericks in their last game.

 

 

"We really executed when we needed to. You look at tonight and you look at the way last night went, two polar opposite situations. I think there were times Chicago really amped up the pressure ad we weren't ready for it. (The Bucks) did it again tonight and we were ready for it. They're NBA champions. They're not going to just go down 15 and call it a day." - Donovan Mitchell on their win against the Bucks in their last game.
