This game will be played at Vivint Arena at 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
Why Bet the Jazz:
✅ The Jazz have a winning record at home this season. They are 12-6 at Vivint Arena, and they will continue to rack up the victories at home in this game, as they are healthy with the exception of Collin Sexton.
✅ The Kings, meanwhile, are slightly below .500 on the road this year. They have been lighting the beam at Golden 1 Center, but their struggles away from Sacramento will persist.
✅ These two teams played in Sacramento last week, and the Kings won on a late three from Kevin Huerter. Utah will be ahead late in this game, but will finish the job this time around.

Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings lost the first game of their road trip, falling against the Memphis Grizzlies. But the season so far has been a huge success for the Kings, as they find themselves in sixth place in the Western Conference thus far. They will look to keep their momentum rolling here, as they take on the Jazz.
For the Kings, finding a way to stop Lauri Markkanen will be the number one key on Tuesday night. Markkanen torched the Kings the last time they played just a few days ago. If the Kings cannot find a way to make things tougher on him, the Kings could fail to get back into the win column in this Western Conference clash.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have lost four games in a row going into this contest, all of which were tight games. All four of those losses came by five or fewer points, including a one-point loss to the Kings in Sacramento. Here, the Jazz will look for revenge for that loss, and to snap their losing streak as they look to hold onto the 10th spot in the West.
For the Jazz, slowing down De’Aaron Fox in crunch time is going to be the key to this contest. Fox went nuclear in the fourth quarter against the Jazz last week, and is more than capable of doing so again on Tuesday night. The Jazz have to find a better defensive answer for the Kings’ star guard this time around to break their run of four straight losses.
