Sport: NBAPick Selection: Utah Jazz +1 -105
San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz 9:00 PM ET
Utah Jazz +1 -105
The initial thoughts of many is to back the Spurs following the big loss in Game Three but Utah has shown thus far what it can do when playing at home. The Jazz have been one of the best home teams in the league this season including the playoffs where they are 7-0, winning by an average of 13.1 ppg. They won the last game by 26 points and that was with Mehmet Okur going scoreless due to foul trouble. Utah outscored the Spurs 50-26 in the paint and another performance like that means another huge win.
The Game Three loss for San Antonio puts the Jazz in a very favorable situation for Game Four. Play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by 3 or more ppg on the season going up against an opponent after a blowout win by 15 points or more. This situation is 40-21 ATS (65.6 percent) over the last five seasons with the average point differential being +3.3 ppg. The strength of that along with the home court edge evens this series for Utah. Play Utah Jazz 2 Units
