Point Spread Pick
UTA Jazz +9.5(-110)

The Philadelphia 76ers will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation when they host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Some comically bad basketball will likely be on display. However, it also presents a strong betting opportunity. After all, this iteration of the Sixers should not be giving 9.5 points to anyone. As such, my Jazz vs 76ers pick is for the visitors to cover. Philadelphia is coming off a disastrous 131-91 loss to San Antonio on Tuesday. Joel Embiid was already out with an oblique injury and Kelly Oubre Jr. missed Tuesday’s contest due to illness. VJ Edgecombe exited after just 6 minutes because of lower-back soreness. With no days off in between games, things are likely to get worse for Philly before they get better.

Meanwhile, Utah is without Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. However, that is nothing new for the Jazz; they are used to it. Other guys have been stepping up to keep this team competitive. That’s not to say that the Jazz are winning many games, but only twice in their last 13 have they lost by more than 11 points. Keyonte George is coming off a 36-point performance during a 128-125 setback against Denver on Monday. Ace Bailey has exceeded his season average (12.7 ppg) in 3 straight games and in 7 of the last 8. Give me Utah to keep this one close against what will likely be an undermanned and fatigued opponent.
