Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are having a rough week to say the least, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better as Embiid and Maxey remain on the injury list. The 76ers are also expected to be without Kenneth Lofton Jr and Marcus Morris Sr for this contest. The Utah Jazz have had their struggles as well recently, but they're at home with a clear edge in the health department. The Jazz don't have a single player on the injury list for this game. Also, despite losses recently, the Jazz is still a profitable 29-20 ATS on the season. I'll lay the points with the Jazz, given the banged up bodies on the other side.
