The Philadelphia 76ers travel west to take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center on Saturday night in the National Basketball Association. The Sixers are up to 12th in the East standings at 11-17 while the Jazz are 14th in the West at 7-22. To the match prediction!

The Jazz managed their first winning streak of the season just last week where they recorded victories over the Pistons and the Nets. However, they were brought back down to Earth in recent days and come into this matchup trying to snap out of a two-game losing streak.

In their last outing, Utah fell to a tough 122-120 loss on the road to the Trail Blazers after Scoot Henderson hit a turnaround fadeaway with 0.1 seconds remaining in the game.

After a rough start to the 2024/25 season, Philadelphia are finally starting to show signs of life. A statement 118-114 away win over the defending champion Celtics marked the sixth win in the last eight for Philadelphia and their second in a row.

It’s seemingly always a toss up these days as to whether or not former MVP Joel Embiid will be available to play. After dropping 27 points in 31 minutes against the Celtics, Embiid is now listed as questionable for the trip to Utah.
