Basketball Betting Utah at Seattle
By Eric Williams
The Utah Jazz, (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 5-0 O/U) are hoping to reach the western conference finals after doing so last season and are off to a decent 3-2 start this season. The Jazz enter this game coming off a thrilling 103-101 over the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night.
The young Seattle Super Sonics, (0-5 SU, 1-4 ATS, 2-3 O/U) are off to a dismal 0-5 start despite nabbing two of the top players in last season’s draft in forwards Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. The Sonics lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 105-98 on Wednesday.
Here is a look at tonight’s Key Trends followed by my analysis and Free NBA Betting Picks:
Key Jazz Trends
The Jazz are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite.
The Jazz are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games following a ATS loss.
The Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall.
Key Sonics Trends

The SuperSonics are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine Friday games.

The Under is 4-0 in Jazz last four games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5.
The Over is 5-0 in Jazz last five games as a favorite.
The Under is 4-0 in SuperSonics last four home games.
The Over is 5-0 in SuperSonics last five vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
The Jazz are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in Seattle.
The Road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.
Analysis: To be honest about it, I’m surprised the Jazz aren’t giving up more points to the Sonics despite being on the road. Seattle doesn’t have an answer for either of Utah’s top two players, blossoming point guard Deron Williams and all-star power forward Carlos Boozer. Take the Jazz to make some sweet music tonight with a win and cover.
