Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat prediction
The Miami Heat are playing their best ball of the season as they’re getting healthier and there’s a chance Herro returns as well. The Utah Jazz have been free-falling these last couple of weeks as they don’t play defense and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The Jazz are going nowhere fast. And with all that said, the Heat are still one of those teams that plays down to their competition and allows subpar teams to hang around. The Heat make things interesting, they rarely blow teams out in impressive fashion. I’m going to grab the points with the Jazz on the road.
