Toronto Raptors vs Utah Jazz: prediction for the NBA match
In the head-to-head matchups between the Toronto Raptors and the Utah Jazz, there have been a total of 34 games played. The hosts of today's match have won 15 times, while the guests have secured 19 victories. The last game between these teams took place on February 11, 2023, and ended with a score of 116:122. To understand who has a better chance of winning, let's look at the statistics from the teams' recent games.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto, much like their upcoming opponent, is currently aspiring to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Canadians are not in the best spirits at the moment, having lost their last two matches, and the defeats were not minor 104:113 against Denver and 111:121 against Philadelphia. On their home court, the Raptors haven’t been particularly impressive either, alternating between victories and losses. Based on this statistic, the hosts should win in the upcoming clash. Let’s see if they can accomplish this.
Utah Jazz
Bookmakers consider Utah a clear underdog, but it’s not accurate to say that Will Hardy’s proteges play significantly worse than their upcoming opponent, especially considering that the visitors are in high spirits after winning on December 22 against Detroit (119:111), where they were also considered underdogs. The upcoming opponent is more dangerous than the previous one, but for Utah to compete for a spot in the top 10, they need to secure victories.
Prediction
We won't be as categorical as the bookmakers, who firmly believe in the home team. Let's repeat once again, the visitors are playing just as well, and their away matches are solid, often defeating teams that are not in the playoffs, and the upcoming opponent falls into that category. That's precisely why we'll bet that luck will favor the guests this time, especially since they have already beaten Toronto twice this year. Our prediction - Utah to win with odds of 2.85. The last two head-to-head matches were high-scoring. Currently, neither team wants a defeat, so they are unlikely to rush forward, forgetting about defense. We believe the game will not be open, and this match will be low-scoring. Our prediction - total under 231 points with odds of 1.78. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.85.
