Utah at Charlotte

The Utah Jazz went into their game vs. Orlando riding a four-game losing streak with a 4-9 record in their past 13 overall. They snapped the streak and look to make it two in a row. Charlotte has won 7 of their last 10 games, but this is still a 22-46 team. Bad teams over the course of a long season tend to have a couple of good stretches, but they don't last all that long. Charlotte is 2-3 in their last five games, and I think these teams are heading in opposite directions. Utah is very much alive in the playoff picture in the NBA West, and off a much-needed win should come into this one with a revived spirit. Make the play on Utah.
