Jazz vs. Kings Prediction

This will mark the third game of a grueling road trip that has seen the Jazz fall to the lowly-ranked San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, respectively. The team have been hit-and-miss for much of this season but have frequently looked strong on offense. Lauri Markkanen has frequently been leading the charge on offense, scoring 32 and 29 points, respectively, in the team's past two games.

The Kings, meanwhile, will have the home-court advantage which, based on the Jazz's recent efforts, plays into the San Francisco unit's favor. Their recent win over the Nuggets showed the team's resolve as they pulled off a commendable comeback after being down 19 points.

Kings star player Domantas Sabonis will likely prove to be a major problem for the Utah outfit's inconsistent defense. When it comes to defensive rebounds in particular, the Jazz aren't up to scratch considering the Kings' vicious offense.

Prediction: Kings -3.5 (-110)
