The Cleveland Cavaliers will play host to the Utah Jazz at the Rocket Arena in the NBA on Monday night. The Cavs (22-18) are seventh in the Eastern Conference, while the Jazz (13-25) are 13th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are on an upward trajectory, having now won five of their last seven games following an impressive 146-134 victory over the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Five Cavs’ players scored 20+ points against the Timberwolves. The task at hand for the team is to continue churning out similar performances, given how much of a drop-off they’ve endured this season.
Last year, Cleveland only lost seven home games, but they have already lost nine this term. However, they will be confident coming into this match, having won their last four against this opponent.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz are trending in the opposite direction, now 3-7 in their last 10 games after suffering a 150-95 hammering at the hands of the Hornets over the weekend.
That defeat was their biggest since the franchise moved to Salt Lake City over 40 years ago, and it also exposed the Jazz’s defence, which is their weakest aspect. Indeed, Utah have the worst defensive rating in the league this season.
With a 4-13 away record this season, it’s difficult to make a case for the Jazz to pull off an upset in this one.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Prediction
This is a tough spot for the Jazz, as they enter this match following one of the biggest losses in the franchise’s history, and now travel to face an opponent they haven’t beaten since 2023, with each of the last three defeats coming by double digits.
The Cavaliers have started to heat up recently, but they still have the worst cover rate in the league this season at 32.5%, which makes this line look much less favourable. However, Donovan Mitchell has put up 30+ points in four of his last five games, and we feel he will have another big outing against the Jazz’s poor defence. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz prediction is Donovan Mitchell over 29.5 points.
If your team in the Cleveland Cavaliers and Utah Jazz game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
