What you need to know about the Jazz

It was a hard-fought contest, but Utah had to settle for a 111-107 loss against the Golden State Warriors this past Saturday. Utah was up 58-45 at the end of the half but couldn’t hold on to the lead. The losing side was boosted by point guard Mike Conley, who shot 5-for-11 from downtown and finished with 26 points, eight dimes and five boards.

Utah has a lot to play for during the final week of the NBA regular season. On one hand, they have the Nuggets and the No. 5 seed are within striking distance. On the other hand, a bad week could very easily put them in the play-in games. Look for the Jazz to lean heavily on their star duo of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert in this matchup. Utah is 31-45-2 against the spread in 2021-22. 

What you need to know about the Grizzlies

Meanwhile, Memphis beat the Phoenix Suns 122-114 this past Friday. Memphis’ small forward Dillon Brooks was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 30 points and seven assists.

Memphis is on a roll, but can’t improve or worsen it’s standing in the Western Conference heading into the postseason. The Grizzlies will be the No. 2 seed regardless of how the regular season plays out, so head coach Taylor Jenkins may opt to deploy a bit of a load management strategy for his stars in this contest. Memphis is 51-27 against the spread in 2021-22.
