Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Utah Jazz take on the Miami Heat at the Vivint Smart Home Arena for this Saturday night NBA clash. The Jazz have been on a tough run of form lately and have dropped down to a .500 record with 19 wins and 19 losses. Utah has lost their last three games in a row following a 126-125 heartbreaking loss to the Kings on Friday, placing them 10th in the Western Conference. They’ll have to deal with short rest as they play the second game of a back-to-back here and their third game in the last four days. The Jazz have been a much stronger team when playing in Utah, winning 12 of their 17 games compared to just seven wins from 21 away trips.
They’ll come up against a Miami Heat team looking to bounce back from a loss of their own after falling 124-119 to the Denver Nuggets. Miami will be in a similar position to their opponents as they are also on a back-to-back and playing their third game in the last four days. The latest defeat sees Miami on a .500 record as well with 18 wins and 18 losses putting them seventh in the Eastern Conference. The Heat will have to resolve their road issues if they are to make a similar run to form which saw them finish with the conference’s best record last season. The visitors have only won six of their 16 away trips this season but have been on a good away run lately.

Our Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat Prediction
Miami will be delighted to have welcomed back star players Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo a few days ago which will come as a much needed boost to their stagnating offense. However, even with the two players back in the lineup the Heat will need to quickly improve on the offensive side of the ball if they want to make a run in the playoffs. The Jazz, meanwhile, have been powered by the resurgent Lauri Markkenen and the explosive Jordan Clarkson, with the pair accounting for the majority of Utah’s offense. Look for them to keep their strong home form going here in a game that they should ultimately be able to walk away from with a victory. Our prediction for the Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat is Jazz -3.5.
