Eighteen of the last 24 games between these two teams have seen the first half go UNDER the posted total. Yes, Utah is scoring a lot right now and not playing much defense. But this is a high total. Losing teams from the prior season in games with first half totals of 100+ have gone UNDER 61% of the time over the past decade. UTah is has gone UNDER the first half 60% of the time in all of their road games since last season (60-40). That includs 16-4 UNDER when favored! And, under Jerry Sloan, the Jazz are 11-2 UNDER the first half number on the road after allowing 100+ points in three straight games.
