Nets vs Jazz Predictions and Picks
"There is nothing worse than playing an inconsistent brand of basketball in a road environment like Salt Lake City. If Brooklyn's defense — which has shown brilliance at times — arrives, then the Nets have a chance in this contest. However, five of their last seven opponents have put up 120 or more on them .... The Jazz live and die by their offense, as their defense sits amongst the worst, but Brooklyn's offense is one of the worst in scoring." — Napier Montgomery, Pickswise
"This is the clash between a couple of lousy teams, and it could easily go either way. Both Brooklyn and Utah have been awful lately. I'm going with the Jazz only because they have a rest advantage over the Nets. Also, Utah is arguably a better offensive team than Brooklyn, though Utah's defense is hideous. Yet, the Nets' defense has struggled a lot over the last couple of weeks." — Victor King, Winners and Whiners
"Brooklyn is 6-17 on the road and coming off an emotional loss where Porter gave them everything he had. That's a tough spot to bounce back, especially with travel fatigue and the altitude adjustment from Denver .... The risk is Porter going nuclear again and single-handedly keeping this close, but I'm betting on Utah's extra rest showing up in the fourth quarter when Brooklyn's legs give out." — Bryan Bash, PredictEm
