The money has been on the Under as it opened 1.5 @ -220 before it was bet down to 1.5 @ -230.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The 6th-quickest tempo team in the league this year has been the Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz will likely see a spike in plays in this game from squaring off against the 8th-quickest pace team in the league this year (the Milwaukee Bucks).
Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to further opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Jazz grade out 3rd-best in in the NBA with 12.3 offensive boards per game since the start of last season.

Favors Under

Walker Kessler has totaled 1.0 assists per game since the start of last season, putting him in the company of the worst players in the NBA by this standard: 23rd percentile.
Walker Kessler will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling tends to decrease player performance across the board.
