The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ -145 before it was bet up to 2.5 @ +125.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Walker Kessler has put up 2.4 assists per game over the last 5 games, 0.8 higher than he's put up overall this year.
The 5th-fastest pace-of-play visiting offense in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Jazz.
Offensive rebounds save possession and spark further opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Utah Jazz rank 5th-best in in the league on the road with 12.4 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.

Favors Under

The Utah Jazz will likely suffer a drop-off in plays today from squaring off against the 5th-most lethargic tempo team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).
Walker Kessler will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road tends to lower stat production in all stat categories.
