I am backing the Jazz to cover this hefty spread, largely due to their success at home.

I expect Gobert to severely limit Valanciunas’ effectiveness, and I foresee the Jazz continuing their 3-pointer success and helping them to another comfortable win.

The Grizzlies are also playing their fifth game in seven nights, so I anticipate this fatigue will have an impact on their performance, especially later in the season and with these compressed schedules.

I think the Jazz pull away in the 2nd half for a double digit win here on Friday night.
