We have quite the interesting matchup here as the Utah Jazz faces Orlando Magic for the first time this season. The Jazz, who score a lot of points and allow even more, go against the Magic, who are top ten in both the NBA offensive and defensive ratings. And as such, we see a lot of rebounding action for Paolo Banchero, as detailed in this match prediction.
Banchero already averaged 8.4 rebounds per game this season, and we're betting on him to record 8+ more against the Jazz. 7.5 of Banchero’s 8 rebounds are defensive, which is significant as the Jazz have one of the highest volumes this season. Utah is 11th in field goals attempted per game this season (90.6) and is 9th for threes alone (39.3).
However, the Jazz’s notably low efficiency will create a lot of defensive rebounding opportunities, which Banchero should capitalize on. The Jazz are 22nd in both field goals and three-point percentage this season, with an efficiency of 46.0% and 34.9%, respectively.
The Magic are already the 11th-best defensive rebounding team per game (32.8). So, the Jazz’s high FG attempts and low efficiency should see the Magic, and Banchero by extension, record their average or even more defensive rebounds.

Our Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Utah Jazz are, without a doubt, one of the best offensive teams in output alone. They've averaged 119.6 points per game (6th) and attempt the 11th-most field goals. But what's more interesting is that the Jazz are 22nd in efficiency, meaning a lot of missed FG, and thus a lot of defensive rebounding opportunities.
Banchero, who leads the Magic in rebounds per game (8.4), makes 7.5 defensive rebounds per game. And Paolo won this bet in eight of the ten teams he faced that scored Orlando at least 109 points. Hence, our Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic prediction is that Banchero makes 8+ rebounds.
