Jazz vs Hornets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Spectrum Center at 7:00 PM ET on Friday, March 25, 2022.
Why Bet The Jazz:
โ The Jazz lean heavily on their 3-point shooting, and the Hornets surrender the fourth-most 3-pointers per 100 possessions (13.7). Utah leads the NBA in attempts from deep (41.5 per 100 possessions) and triples made (15.1), so Charlotte will be in trouble if the Jazz get hot from beyond the 3-point line.ย
โ The Hornets are yielding 113.2 points per 100 possessions (23rd in the NBA) and will struggle to cope with Utahโs prolific offense. The Jazz boast the highest offensive rating in the league, tallying 116.5 points per 100 possessions. Also, Utah is the top seven team in the NBA when it comes to field goal percentage (47.1%) and 3-point percentage (36.3%).ย

โ Utah is undefeated in eight straight meetings with Charlotte. During that stretch, the Jazz have gone 5-2-1 against the spread. Seven of those eight wins have come by eight or more points, while the Hornets couldnโt cover in three consecutive home dates with the Jazz.ย
Utah Jazz
The Jazz continue their six-game road trip Friday in Charlotte. They started the journey with a 108-93 victory at the New York Knicks, but over their last two outings, the Jazz have suffered losses at the Brooklyn Nets 114-106 and Boston Celtics 125-97.ย
Utah got humiliated by the Celtics, trailing by 20 or more points for most of the clash. The Jazz made only 39.8% of their field goals and 22.2% of their 3-pointers, while Donovan Mitchell was a lone bright spot with 37 points on 13-for-24 shooting from the field. Utah is now tied with Dallas for the No. 4 seed in the West, and the Jazz desperately need to get back on the winning track if they want to secure the home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.ย
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets will close down their five-game homestand Friday. After defeating Atlanta 116-106, Dallas 129-108, and New Orleans 106-103, the Hornets suffered a heavy 121-106 defeat to the injury-depleted New York Knicks, who were listed as 8.5-point underdogs.ย
Charlotte played some lousy defense last Wednesday, allowing the Knicks to make 51.8% of their field goals and 44.4% of their 3-pointers. On the other side of the ball, Charlotte went only 13-for 46 from downtown, while LaMelo led the way with 32 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.
