Result:
WIN

At 5-3, the Utah Jazz have played well, despite losing their top player to free agency in Gordon Hayward. They have ridden the stellar play of newly acquired Ricky Rubio, but the question remains, can he sustain it for long periods? The Jazz offense has overachieved the past two games, and when that isn't there, which will be the case in a lot of games, the Jazz struggle. Let's not forget that prior to the last two, the Jazz offense averaged 92 points per game over a five-game stretch, so I think the line is getting an undue bump. Toronto has posted at least 97 points in every game this season and have struck for 110+ in four games already. The Jazz can defend, but their offense will struggle more than they will succeed, and Hayward is no longer there to bail them out. Play Toronto on the moneyline.
