Utah at Sacramento

Utah is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, fifth in points allowed. The Jazz wind up a rough stretch of playing four of five on the road, even winning at Washington, 107-104 as a +8 dog. They catch a break in playing a Sacramento squad that plays no defense, last in the league in field goal shooting, allowing .478% and last in scoring on offense (97.7 points per game). The Kings have lost five in a row and eight of nine to sink to last place in the Western Conference. Sacramento went without leading scorer Zach Randolph in Monday's 95-88 loss at Oklahoma City as coach Dave Joerger has made a commitment to give younger players more time on the floor. The Kings are on a 2-9 ATS run against the Western Conference, as well as 7-18-1 ATS when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Utah has won three in a row at Sacramento and holds all the cards tonight. Play Utah.
