Jazz at Pacers – Take Utah and the Over

The Utah Jazz (40-23 SU, 34-29 ATS, 32-30-1 O/U) have won a whopping, 11 consecutive games in the BetOnline Sportsbook but have gone just 2-3 ATS over their last five contests.

The Indiana Pacers (28-37 SU, 36-27-2 ATS, 37-26-2 O/U) bounced back from a loss in their previous outing to record a solid win the last time they took the court.

The Jazz defeated the struggling Toronto Raptors 109-101 as a 4.5-point favorite on Sunday while the combined score played Over the posted O/U total (205).

All-star point guard Deron Williams scored a team-high 25 points to go along with nine assists for Utah while veteran center Mehmet Okur added 19 points and 11 rebounds in the win.

The Pacers overcame a 15-point halftime deficit to record a 106-105 victory over the L.A Clippers on Saturday despite failing to cover the 4.5-point spread as road favorites while the 211 combined points checked in OVER the posted total of 210.5.

Combo-guard Jarrett Jack led the Pacers with 25 points while veteran frontcourt player Troy Murphy added 22 points in the win.

Analysis: While the Indiana Pacers have surprised quite a few ballclubs this season, I think this matchup clearly favors the red-hot Utah Jazz, who will not only win this road contest, but win it convincingly. With two fine offenses also taking the floor tonight, I also like the Over in a big way.
