Jazz have been on a tear and are playing with a sense of purpose, having won 9 of 11 and have been playing better on the road. They are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 6-0 ATS on the road. Jazz are also 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Memphis and 14-6 ATS between the two in general.

My first thought before line came out was it would be Memphis -3. So Utah +5 has quite a bit of value here and I think they can even get the W. Grizz would need to win this game and also have Clips lose in Sacramento to even get home court for first round. I think the Clips game will be more of a battle than people think but they should win and Memphis probably knows it too. Clips had plenty of rest last night at home and have just a one hour flight to Sacramento.

I've heard that Memphis might play their reserves again like they did with Dallas. I like Utah +5, ML and the OVER 180!
