Utah at Charlotte

The reason why Charlotte struggles is that they are a poor shooting team that does not defend very well. They appear to be playing well with four wins in six games but the schedule has recently been kind. The Hornets have gone 14 games without shooting 50% from the field. They have done so just four times, and only four NBA teams have done so fewer times. The Jazz has moved to 17-11 on the season and has won four in a row. The Jazz fits a momentum situation that deals in part with teams of three consecutive games where the offense has clicked. That situation is 203-107-7 ATS. Play on Utah.
