Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers (11-17) are set to face off against the Utah Jazz (7-22) in a Saturday night showdown at the Delta Center, with tip-off scheduled for 9:30 PM ET. The 76ers come into this game with a bit of momentum, having secured an upset victory over the Boston Celtics just three days ago, winning 118-114 as 10.0-point underdogs. This win could provide a much-needed boost for Philadelphia, especially considering they have lost 15 of their last 25 games.

On the other hand, the Utah Jazz are struggling significantly, entering this matchup on a five-game home losing streak.

The Jazz, with a moneyline of +220, have an implied win probability of 30%, highlighting the uphill battle they face.

For those interested in player prop betting, Joel Embiid's Points, Rebounds, and Assists market has garnered attention, as it is the most popular betting option for this game. Bettors should also note that sharp money seems to be leaning towards the Under, with the current line set at 39.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists at -110, suggesting some believe this total is mispriced.

As both teams look to improve their standings, the 76ers will aim to capitalize on their extra rest, while the Jazz will seek to break their home losing streak and regain some confidence on their court.
