76ers vs Jazz Prediction & Pick
The 76ers came close to pulling off an upset on Monday as they held an 11-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Some lackadaisical defense cost them down the stretch, though, as Memphis came all the way back to win. If anything, the game showed that the Philadelphia roster can compete.
On the other side, the Jazz were never really in the game against OKC considering they were down 16 points when halftime arrived. They shot a dismal 26.5% from three-point range and logged a notable 28 personal fouls, too. That's a deadly combination that makes it difficult to challenge any NBA team.
I'll back the 76ers in a small upset here as they displayed a bit more promise in Monday's opener.
Final Score Prediction:'76ers: 93 | Jazz: 90
76ers vs Jazz Best Bet
This game has toss-up written all over it, so I'll take the points and back the 76ers as a 2.5-point underdog. Philadelphia played well on Monday thanks to some surprising performances from the aforementioned Smith and DJ Steward (15 points). The fact that the team has an NBA head coach in Nick Nurse leading the charge should be enough of a boost to keep the score within reach ag ain.
