Why the Jazz can cover
Utah is an elite team on both ends of the floor. Donovan Mitchell leads the offense, averaging 24.4 points per game, and the Jazz are No. 3 in the league in scoring 1.17 points per possessions. Utah leads the NBA in three-point attempts per game (42.8) and they are No. 3 in accuracy, making 39.6 percent. That helps the Jazz to top-four marks in overall shooting efficiency, and Utah is also a top-five team in offensive rebounding, grabbing 29.4 percent of its own missed shots.
On the other end, Rudy Gobert is the league's top rim protector, averaging 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots per game. He keys the No. 3 overall defense in the NBA, giving up fewer than 1.08 points per possession. Utah is No. 2 in the league in assists allowed (22.2 per game) and shooting efficiency allowed, with the No. 1 overall rebound rate (53.0 percent) and the No. 3 mark in free throw rate allowed. That is key against a Philadelphia team that excels in generating free throw attempts.
Why the 76ers can cover
Rockets Vs Jazz Odds
Philadelphia has a leading MVP candidate in Joel Embiid, with the All-NBA center averaging 29.8 points and 11.3 rebounds per game this season. The matchup between Embiid and Gobert will be pivotal, but Embiid has been virtually unstoppable this season. Ben Simmons adds 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.6 steals, with intriguing defense and a versatile game. The 76ers are a tremendous offensive rebounding team, pulling down almost 29 percent of their own misses.
Finally, Philadelphia should be able to avoid turnovers, as the Jazz are the worst team in the NBA at creating turnovers, forcing a giveaway on only 11.7 percent of possessions. On the other end, Philadelphia is No. 6 in both overall defensive rating and shooting efficiency allowed. The 76ers are also a top-10 team in steals, blocks and overall turnover creation this season.
