Hardy's team had a tough time before this match, losing three games in a row. They lost at home to Atlanta (121:124) and Miami (92:97), and away to Phoenix (106:114). The game against the Nets was a close one, but the Jazzmen managed to pull through in overtime with a score of 112:111 (102:102).
This victory was the tenth for Utah in this championship. The team from Salt Lake City has already had 28 defeats. Also, it's worth mentioning that in the match with Charlotte, the participation of all the Jazz leaders is uncertain.
Charlotte
The Hornets have won fewer games than Utah, with the score at 8-28. Charles Lee's team is in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference and, like the Jazz, they're seasing to sort their problems issues from now on. The Hornets are 8.5 wins away from the play-in zone. Utah, by the way, has that handicap in the West at 9.0 wins. In their last game, Charlotte played away against Phoenix and failed, but before that, they defeated the Suns at home. 113:120 - with another great match for LaMelo Ball (25 points and 11 assists). The Charlotte point guard is currently in the starting five from the Eastern Conference for the All-Star Game.

Expert Betting Tips
Utah and Charlotte are pretty evenly matched this season, but the Jazz probably won't be able to rely on all of their leaders in the upcoming game. We agree with the bookies' analysts who are putting high odds on the home team, so we're going to bet on the visitors. Also, the Hornets are the worst team in the league in terms of field goal percentage. Statistically speaking, we're going to bet on TO rebounds.
