Jazz vs. Hornets Predictions and Picks
The Jazz face the Hornets in this Western vs. Eastern Conference matchup. Utah is 1-9 in its last ten games and has shown no signs of playing solid basketball. It doesn't help that half of their roster is injured, and they are still searching for any semblance of quality play.
In their blowout loss to the Nuggets, Utah trailed by 11 after the first quarter, played well in the second, but was outmatched in the second half. The Jazz shot just 35% from the field, and teams rarely win when shooting below 40%. They also lost the points-in-the-paint battle by 18. While five Utah players scored in double figures, they need to limit turnovers and improve efficiency across the board.
The Hornets are 2-8 in their last ten games and hold an 11-26 record at home. With eight games remaining in the season, Charlotte will likely remain near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, possibly even dropping to last place. This is one of their final realistic chances to secure a win.
In their most recent game, Charlotte fell to the New Orleans Pelicans, 98-94. The Hornets led by nine at halftime, lost the third quarter by ten, and came up short in a tight fourth quarter. They shot just 35% from the field but performed well at the free-throw line. Only three players reached double figures, with Miles Bridges leading the team in scoring with 20 points.
Best Bet: Charlotte Moneyline
Both teams are eager for the season to end. The Jazz are dealing with injuries and showing no signs of improvement. Meanwhile, during their five-game skid, the Hornets have gradually been playing better. Both teams recently shot just 35% from the field and saw contributions from their bench. Scoring should improve for both teams, making this a game of pride. The Hornets have the healthier roster, get to the free-throw line more often, and boast the stronger defense.
