This season, only the Hawks were able to beat the unstoppable Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The impressive season for Donovan Mitchell's Cavaliers, who are 16-1 at home, 21-8 ATS and lost just once in December, continues when they host the UTAH Jazz on Monday as favorites by as many as 14.5 points at the betting sites.

The Jazz will enter this December date for the first time this season having won two straight. The Jazz had an unusually strong defensive performance when they held the Nets under 100 points in Brooklyn, the second time this season that the rebuilding team has done so. Offensively, however, they didn't have a good night, and it was the fact that the Nets only made 7 of 40 three-pointers that gave the Jazz the win.

Meanwhile, Cavaliers are carrying a 4-game winning streak into this game, which also saw them recover Strus in the penultimate game, another shooter who joined the already powerful roster after missing the first part of the season due to an ankle injury.

As for the bettors, the Cavaliers are already the 3rd favorites in the bookies to win the Eastern Conference in 2025, only surpassed by the Cletics and Knicks.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Prediction

Lauri Markkanen was self-critical even in the Jazz win when he said that "We didn't make any shots in the first half," but that his team had stayed in the game thanks to defense. However, they will now face the most polished offense in the NBA with a 50.5 FG% and an impressive 40.5 3PT FG%. The explosive combination of Garland and Mitchell looks to breach the Jazz's weak defense on Monday and the Cavs will be able to cover. Our prediction for Cavaliers vs Jazz is: Cavaliers -14.5.
