Utah at Brooklyn

Utah is without point guard Mike Conley, missing the last 12 games due to a hamstring injury, while leading scorer Donovan Mitchell is day-to-day with an illness. But this team has won nine in a row behind a strong defense, seventh in the NBA in points allowed and field goal shooting, eighth at defending beyond the arc. Utah is 37-23 UNDER the total against losing teams. Brooklyn is third in the league in field goal shooting defense (43.3%), 20-8 UNDER the total after playing two consecutive home games. All of which means look for more defense than offense. Play the UNDER.
