Philadelphia 76ers
Moneyline Pick: Philadelphia (-235) - B+

Philadelphia looks to reverse their recent two-game skid as they face a Utah squad languishing in a six-game losing streak. Despite major injury concerns for the Sixers’ backcourt, they remain a step ahead with a deep rotation. Meanwhile, the Jazz have struggled to fill the void left by their injured rim protector, giving up easy looks in the paint over their last few contests. Historically, Philadelphia has asserted dominance in home matchups against Western Conference opponents, providing confidence that they can hold off a Jazz team desperate to end its drought. With the -235 moneyline, the Sixers carry a moderate payoff, but their likelihood of securing a critical home win earns this prediction a solid B+.

Over/Under Pick: Under 225, (-110) - B+

Utah’s Lauri Markkanen, confirmed active on the latest roster check, hopes to end the Jazz’s current four-game skid against a Philadelphia squad also reeling from back-to-back defeats. Meanwhile, the Jazz, missing a key rotation piece due to a lingering injury, have struggled to find fluid offense on this road stretch. With both teams eager to break bad streaks and forging effort on defense, this wager for an Under payout looks enticing and earns a solid B+ for profitability at the window.

Spread Pick: Utah Jazz, +6 (-106) - B
Lauri Markkanen of the Utah Jazz looks eager to snap his team’s grueling five-game skid, while Philadelphia stumbles in carrying a three-game slump into this contest. With the 76ers missing a key veteran big man to a lingering injury, Utah hopes to exploit the paint despite dropping multiple close matchups against Eastern squads in the last few seasons. Even though the Jazz rarely find success in Philly’s hostile environment, this pick grades as a solid B for both likelihood and potential payout if the Jazz cover the six-point spread.
