Season series: Jazz lead 2-0

Utah lost 124-114 at the Portland Trail Blazers Friday, covering as a 15.5-point road underdog with the Over (235.5) hitting. F/G Brice Sensabaugh scored 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting to lead the Jazz, but their 13-rebound gap was too much to come back from.

The Jazz embarrassed the Kings 121-93 Feb. 11 while covering as 6-point home favorites as the Under (230.5) cashed. Utah held Sacramento to just 7-of-33 (21%) shooting from deep. The Jazz won the first meeting 128-119 Nov. 28, also in Salt Lake City.

Jazz at Kings picks and predictionsPrediction

Kings 113, Jazz 112

PASS.

I slightly lean toward the Kings to pick up the win here as -155 favorites, but with both teams fighting for the No. 1 draft pick and having so many injuries, there are too many unknowns to risk backing either team on the ML. Both teams trying to lose makes them unpredictable, so pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

BET JAZZ +2.5 (-102).

The Jazz have covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 games overall and in 3 of their last 4 road games. The Jazz have also covered ATS in each of their last 3 matchups against the Kings in Sacramento. On the season, Utah has been much better ATS, sitting at 36-31, while Sacramento is just 27-39-2 against the spread this season.

LEAN UNDER 233.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 5 of Sacramento’s last 7 games overall and is 2-1 in its last 3 home games. For Utah, the Under is 3-1 in its last 4 road games. The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 4 matchups between these squads, also hitting in the last matchup in Sacramento.

This is a LEAN because the Over is 40-27 for the Jazz this season.
