Jazz vs. Wizards Game Info
Utah Jazz (29-10, 13-8 Away) vs. Washington Wizards (14-25, 7-14 Home)
Date: Thursday, March 17, 2021
Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Capital One Arena — Washington D.C.
Coverage: NBATV
The Jazz were dominating the league during the first half of the season. However, they have now dropped four of their past seven games. All of these losses have come on the road. The Jazz have been traveling constantly, with just one home game in their past seven. They have three more away games in a row, including today, so expect the fatigue of constant travel to take its toll. Utah is, however, coming off a win against the Celtics. Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 21 points, and five other Utah players finished with double-digit points. Mike Conley will be out for the Jazz tonight.
Washington went on a stretch last month where it seemed like they figured things out, winning seven of eight games. However, they seemingly forgot how to win, losing five games in a row. Unlike Utah, Washington has stayed put at home, with six of their last seven games on their own floor. They lost by 2 points to the Kings last night. Bradley Beal finished with a game-high 29 points, while Russell Westbrook had a 26-point triple-double.

Jazz vs. Wizards NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Jazz – Wizards game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at SugarHouse and DraftKings in the form of an over 236 (-108) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Jazz – Wizards total under should aim to do so at BetMGM, with a line of 237.5 (-110).
Jazz vs. Wizards Prediction
This is a large spread, and the Jazz haven’t been great. They also will be playing without Conley today. However, they got hot earlier in the season with Conley out, with Mitchell taking on even more usage. Rudy Gobert should be able to dominate the paint tonight as well. I like them to cover against a Wizards team that lost a close one last night.
Prediction: Jazz -11.5
