The Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse plays host to the East vs. West showdown between the Utah Jazz and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday (December 19) in NBA Regular Season action. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The 17-15 Jazz come into this game in decent form, winning two and losing two of their last four. Their most recent result was a 97-123 loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks as they dropped down to eighth place in the Western Conference. They are having a very commendable season as the performances of Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen have made them a top-five offense in the league. They are currently scoring nearly 117 points, which is the fifth-best tally in the entire NBA, thanks to Lauri Markkanen’s performances as he is averaging 22-8 per game.
The Cavs are still in supreme form, winning five of their last seven. They come into this game on the back of a three-game win streak, the latest of which came against the Dallas Mavericks in a very nervy 100-99 victory. The Cavs improved to a 20-11 record following those wins as they are currently sitting in third place in the East, just two wins behind the formidable Celtics’ side.

Jazz vs. Cavaliers Betting Prediction
The Cavaliers have an incredible home record this campaign. They have won 14 of the 16 games that they’ve played at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse as they prepare to host the Utah Jazz, who come into this game on the back of a demoralizing loss.
A familiar face in Donovan Mitchell will face the Jazz as he comes into this game with a vengeance. His form has been a driving force for the Cavs’ success, averaging nearly 33 points per game in December.
Cavaliers: -245
