The Utah Jazz is coming off a dominating performance against the New York Knicks, winning 108-93 on the road last night. Tonight, the Jazz will play back-to-back against a hungry Nets team that won’t have Kyrie Irving around. Let’s see what the NBA odds for this matchup tell us!

The NBA Playoffs are approaching and while the Nets are going to make the postseason, seeding matters. The Nets need to show some urgency, especially in a home game. The Jazz is the best offense in the NBA right now.
Utah is scoring 117.8 points per possession while also shooting an effective field goal percentage of 56.2%. The Jazz should also be able to dominate the offensive glass, as Utah earns 28.4% of offensive rebounds.

Plus, on top of all that, the Jazz gets to the line at a very high rate of 20.7, which is the third-best in the league. On the other hand, the Nets are scoring 114.1 points per 100 possessions and shooting a 54% effective field goal percentage.
On the glass, the Nets are above average as well, earning 26.8% of offensive rebounds. The Nets might not be able to get to the foul line as much as normal and might not get second chances at a higher pace than normal, but ultimately, if the Nets want to win this game, the turnovers will have to stay down and the shot selection will have to be good.
After all, the Nets haven’t played for two nights and should feel fresh and ready to go against a contending Jazz team. Therefore, I like the over for my NBA picks, in this game.
If the Nets want to win this game, Brooklyn will need to keep up with a very good Jazz offense. Offensive rebounds won’t be there for the Nets all night but the limited turnovers should be crucial in this game.

The Houston Rockets have lost five straight games and only have 17 wins on the season. Right there, the odds are in your favor with the Wizards. Washington hasn’t played all that well either but got back on track with a 127-119 win over the Lakers on Saturday.
The Wizards have at least been in games. The Rockets, on the other hand, continue to lose games by multiple digits and just don’t stand a chance most of the time. Houston is the worst defense in the NBA, allowing 118 points per 100 possessions while also allowing teams to shoot an effective field goal percentage of 56.1%.
Washington fouls at a high rate, allows offensive rebounds at a high rate, and forces turnovers just 13.7% of the time. Washington’s not all that better but at least teams are shooting just a 52.9% effective field goal percentage.
On the offensive glass, opponents are being held to 25.9% offensive rebounds, which is another above-average stat for the Wizards. For your best bets, grab the Wizards on the moneyline, even at home, to finish off the parlay.
