Cavaliers vs. Jazz Betting Prediction

The Cavaliers should be able to beat the Jazz tonight as the Utah side do come into this game with a lack of starting quality. It is going to be a great battle between one of the league's best offenses and one of the league's best defenses.

The majority of Utah’s inside presence will be missing tonight with the injury to Kelly Olynyk, which makes the job of the Cavaliers’ defense even simpler. They are already one of the league’s very best defenses and should be able to keep the red-hot Lauri Markkanen quiet as well. The Cavs have also been very solid on the road, having already won eight away games this season.
