Philadelphia 76ers vs. Utah Jazz Prediction
Utah begins this contest with a record of 24-25.
That record is the tenth-best in the Western Conference.
The Jazz have lost back-to-back games and will attempt to snap their modest losing streak tonight.
Lauri Markkanen leads the Jazz offense with 23.5 points per game and a team-best 8.7 rebounds.
Jordan Clarkson has poured in 17.7 points per game and a team-best 4.8 assists.
Collin Sexton has enjoyed a strong season, averaging 17.4 points per game and 4.4 assists.
John Collins has added 14.1 points and 7.9 boards.
The Jazz offense has averaged 117.5 points per game.
The 76ers enter this game as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 29-17 record.
The Sixers have lost four games in a row after a six-game winning streak.
A big reason for the cold streak is injuries.
Philly has been without Tyrese Maxey for the last few games and missed Joel Embiid for a couple of games.
Embiid returned on Tuesday against the Warriors but was injured in the fourth quarter and will not return tonight, while Maxey is listed as questionable.
Embiid leads the league in scoring with 35.3 points per game while adding 11.3 rebounds.
Maxey has had an all-star caliber season with 25.7 points and a team-best 6.6 assists per game.
Tobias Harris has added 17.7 points per game and 6.0 boards.
The Philly offense has averaged 118.9 points per game.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Utah Jazz Pick
Harris will see an expanded offensive role tonight without Embiid and possibly Maxey.
Embiid scores 35.3 points per game, so the Sixers will need someone to step up and put up points.
Harris has scored 30+ points in two of the last three games Embiid did not play in.
Utah is a bad defense, putting Harris in a great spot tonight.
