Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Jazz vs. Wizards game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under 230 between Utah and Washington:
“With such bad records and young talent on the floor, most of the money will come in on the Over and the Jazz as +5 point underdogs versus Washington. I don’t think either side is worth backing although this line is telling with Washington favored so heavily. I would fade the public and take the Under here.”
