Why Bet on the Philadelphia 76ers?

The Sixers just keep on getting better and better this season. Their strong start has allowed them to get to the top of the Eastern Conference standings and remain there for some time now. As it stands, their three core players, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, and Tobias Harris have been producing healthy numbers.

Now that the Sixers are about to reach the halfway mark of the regular season, expect the team to maintain momentum coming into the second half. The NBA odds should reflect how close this matchup is going to be contested.

That is not to say that there’s no more improvement needed when watching the Sixers. The team still has to focus on avoiding turnovers, improving their shooting beyond the arc as well as bench scoring. Like any other team in the NBA, they have to address these issues if they want to be in tip-top form come the playoffs.

Why Bet on the Utah Jazz?

The other end of the spectrum sees a strong Jazz team with 28 wins against eight losses. They currently have the best win-loss record in the league, edging the defending champions who are currently 24 and 11 at the time of this writing. The NBA betting lines should have the Salt Lake City team as favorites, which makes them the safer pick for outright bets.

Only time will tell if they can keep up this dominant display of basketball. Their impressive defense has been the key component to their wins. But that’s not to say that this is their only saving grace.

The Jazz recently tweaked their offense, particularly their 3-point shooting. This put them at third overall in terms of offensive efficiency in the league.
