Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards preview

The Jazz are on a two-game losing streak and have won just three of their past 10 games. They are just 7-22 on the road, a record that doesn’t bode well for Wednesday’s game. Utah is coming off of a 134-106 blowout loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday. Kyle Filipowski came off the bench to lead the team with 25 points.

Utah will be without several of its key players, including Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Walker Kessler, John Collins and Collin Sexton, on Wednesday.

The Wizards are coming off of a 106-90 loss to the Miami Heat on Monday. Newly acquired Khris Middleton led the team with 16 points with Jordan Poole out with an elbow injury.

Washington has the worst record in the league and has won just two of its past 10 games. While the team is mathematically not out of playoff contention yet, it is very unlikely as they are 12.0 games out of the 10th spot in the East.

Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards betting props

Kyle Filipowski’s points total is set at 13.5. While that is way over his season average of 7.6 points, the oddsmakers favor him to cross the mark because of the players slated to miss Wednesday’s game. We expect the same. Bet on the over.

Khris Middleton’s points total is set at 14.5, a mark he is favored to cross. He has done so in the past two games and should be able to continue the streak against Utah as well. Bet on the over.

Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Wizards to get a win at home. We expect the same as the Jazz might find it a bit too much to overcome their injury issues. Washington should cover the spread for a win in a game where the team total stays under 230.5 points.
