Analysis

The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ -170 before it was bet up to 1.5 @ -180.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Lauri Markkanen has averaged 32.1 minutes per game this year, seeing the court more than most players in the league: 82nd percentile.
Offensive rebounds continue possession and bring about extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Jazz grade out best in in the NBA with 14.0 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.

Favors Under

The 6th-slowest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from being pitted against the 5th-slowest tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Sacramento Kings).
Lauri Markkanen will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road generally decreases player performance in all stat categories.
