Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz Prediction
Utah have had a notable uptick in form lately, but they were exposed by the Celtics last time out, and it will be interesting to see how they respond to that big defeat. The 76ers are missing a couple of important players, but they are solid at Wells Fargo Center and will be looking to avoid back-to-back home losses at all costs. The spread looks a little steep for our liking, but we do fancy the hosts to secure the win here. Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz prediction: Philadelphia 76ers to win the match.
