Philadelphia at Utah

February 15, 2021
img9:05 PM Eastern

This has the look of a game that could represent the NBA Finals. At 18-9, the Sixers are sitting atop the Eastern Conference while the red-hot Utah Jazz lead the West at 22-5. After seeing an 11-game winning streak snapped, the Jazz have proceeded to go on a current seven-game win streak. Philadelphia is in a good place right now as the 76ers have been shooting the ball impressively over their last seven games at 294-591, or just shy of 50-percent. It will be the ultimate test for a Utah defense that has not allowed a team to reach 47-percent in their last seven. The line is really stretched out here as Utah was home vs Miami in their last game at -7, and here they are -7.5 vs. the top team in the East. It's too many points. Make the play on Philadelphia.
