Miami Heat vs Utah Jazz Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan. 9, 2025

For the second time in less than a week, the Miami Heat vs Utah Jazz matchup is happening on Thursday night. The Jazz dominated the first meeting on Jan. 4, beating the Heat 136-100. They are also looking to sweep the season series against Miami for the first time since the 2002-03 NBA season.

Despite the drama surrounding Jimmy Butler, the Heat got a much-needed win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. They will try to win their second game of the grueling six-game road trip that is scheduled to end on Jan. 15 against the LA Lakers.

Meanwhile, the Jazz are coming off a heartbreaking defeat to the Atlanta Hawks after Trae Young hit a game-winning shot near halfcourt at the buzzer. They are trying to get some momentum before heading to Phoenix and face the struggling Suns on Jan. 11.
