The Heat are eight games better than the Jazz, play much stronger defense, and should be motivated following an ugly, 127-110, road loss to the Trail Blazers two days ago. Miami is 1-2 on its current road trip and can't take a loss here against the 15-30 Jazz, with a much tougher road game against the Suns looming on Sunday. Utah has lost four of its last five games. The Jazz could be without two key players, Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic. Markkanen leads the Jazz with 27.9 points a game and is third in rebounding at 7.2 per game. He has missed the previous six games following an illness and is listed as questionable. Markkanen is likely to be rusty if he does play. Nurkic is Utah's second leading rebounder and shoots 50.3 percent from the floor. He's questionable due to illness. Miami ranks ninth in defense efficiency, 10th in defensive field goal percentage, and 11th in 3-point defense. Take the Heat and the UNDER.

Miami at Utah
9:00 PM Eastern
The Utah Jazz are 9-26 on the season and their 2-13 home record is horrific. There won't be a lot of bettors standing with the Jazz tonight, but Utah is actually playing much better than they were earlier in the season. The Jazz are quietly on an 8-2 ATS run in their last 10 games, winning their past two straight-up. Miami, meanwhile, can't get over the top. There are trade rumors regarding Jimmy Butler which don't help, and the Heat are 1-3 in their last four games. Utah is a live dog right now. Make the play on the Jazz.
