Advice and prediction
Not only are the Jazz a tremendous team this season, they also present a tremendous mismatch for the Hornets. The Jazz are first in 3-point frequency in the league as well as in corner 3-pointers specifically. Charlotte allows the third-most 3-pointers overall and the most corner 3-pointers.
It’s a match made in heaven for Utah. Assuming the Jazz play at the level they have all season, it’s hard to see how the Hornets keep this close. Take Utah -12.5
Prediction: Utah 119, Hornets 100.
