Washington Wizards vs Utah Jazz: Both teams are in terrible form
The Utah Jazz are hosting the Washington Wizards on Monday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The Wizards have the longest active losing streak
The Washington Wizards are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 9-51 record. They have lost the last 14 games and are coming off a 140-115 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Wizards are the worst defensive team in the league, allowing 124.6 points per game, and they are ranked second to last, allowing 50.2% shooting from the field. Kyle Kuzma leads the team with 22.2 points per game.
The Jazz need to step up
The Utah Jazz are 11th in the Western Conference with a 27-34 record. They have lost eight of their last nine games and are coming off a 126-120 loss to the Miami Heat. The Jazz are tenth in the league, scoring 117.5 points per game, and are at the bottom of the league with 15.4 turnovers per game. Lauri Markkanen leads the team with 23.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
Betting Trends
Utah has won 12 of the last 16 games against Washington. The Jazz are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. The Wizards are 2-4 ATS in the last 6 games overall and 3-8-1 in the last 12 games played in March.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are struggling lately, but only Utah has a chance to save the season. The Jazz played pretty well most of the season, but recent struggles have dropped them to the bottom third of the Western Conference. It seems like the Wizards cannot wait for the season to end. They failed to win a single game in the month of February, and now they have the worst record in the entire league. The Jazz are in the top 10 offenses in the league and will exploit the Wizards, who are dead last in allowed points and slightly over in allowed field goal percentage. The Jazz will have full control of this game and win, covering the -7.5-point spread.
