Wizards a size too small for Utah?
There will be six duels in the NBA on the night from Saturday to Sunday on 12.12.2021. Among others, the Washington Wizards will host the third-place Utah Jazz in the West. Which tip the betting pool has in store, can be read below!
Washington Wizards – Statistics & current form
The Wizards have coped well with the departure of Russell Westbrook before the season. The player with the most triple-doubles in NBA history and a nine-time All-Star is unquestionably one of the best players in the league, but the Potomac River basketballers are still in a respectable fifth place in the East without him and are on course for the playoffs.
In the upcoming game, the home side can also rely on their strong home strength: No other team in the Eastern Conference has a higher winning percentage than the Wizards in front of their own crowd.
Utah Jazz – Statistics & current form
Utah is a particularly difficult opponent for the hosts. The men from the Mormon state recently put the Sixers in their place and the win rate of 72 percent is only topped by the Suns from Phoenix and Golden State Warriors in the NBA.
One guarantee for their success is their strong offence: Utah scores an average of 117 points per 100 possessions – the best in the NBA! Mitchell Donovan has played a big part in this: The shooting guard is currently the strongest shooter for the visitors with an average of more than 24 points per game.
Washington Wizards – Utah Jazz Tip
For the clash between the Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz on 12 December, bet on an away win. The home side has not been in the best of form of late, with three losses in the last four rounds and their only win coming against last-place Detroit in the Eastern Conference and in overtime.
Furthermore, although the Wizards have won the last two meetings with Utah, they have lost no fewer than eight times in this pairing. In addition, Utah is hardly less strong away from home than at home: Nine of the previous twelve guest games have ended in success for head coach Quin Snyder’s team.
Unibet offers odds of 1.50 on the Wizards’ game against Utah.
