Utah

The Jazz failed the last game after winning two games in a row with Markkanen's help - over New York (117-113) and Portland (122-114). On the road, Will Hardy's team could not properly fight Sacramento - 105-124. Markkanen played a quality game, scoring 18 points. Collin Sexton was the most productive with 28 points. Utah missed Jordan Clarkson - the team's leading scorer skipped the game because of an injury, but he should be ready for the match with Brooklyn.

Brooklyn

The Nets also played Sacramento at the beginning of their road trip and lost 118-131. A 116-112 win over Phoenix followed, and then Brooklyn failed two in a row to Denver - 101-124 and Golden State - 120-124.

The problem of Jacque Vaughn's team is still the defense. Brooklyn concedes an unusually high 114.7 points per game. At the same time, they can work miracles on offense - 116.4 and a position in the top-10 of offensive rating.

Expert Betting Tips

Utah and Brooklyn both rely heavily on the three-pointers. However, both have trouble defending the perimeter. So, there should be a lot of long-range attempts in the upcoming game. Additionally, we consider betting on the individual performance of key shooters. For example, the Nets have Cameron Johnson, who averages more than six long-range attempts per game, and he will definitely have a chance to break his season norm of 14.3 points.

We're picking Brooklyn to win. The Nets look a lot more balanced and competitive than Utah right now.
