Steve Merril's Saturday NBA Report (Jan. 12)
Below is a FREE NBA selection for Saturday night.
UTAH -7 (vs. Orlando) – 9:05 pm ET #508
Orlando has been a solid road team this season, but this is a very difficult scheduling spot for the Magic as they must play back-to-back games in the altitude of Denver and Utah without rest.
Orlando started the season strong, but has struggled the past few weeks with just a 7-11 SU record and they are playing terrible defense, allowing at least 47% FG or worse in seven of their past eight games.
Utah is an excellent offensive squad that averages 107 points per game and 50.1% FG at home this season, so they should be able to take advantage of this weak Orlando defense tonight.
Utah enters this game with solid momentum situation after a pair of easy home wins by 22 points in each of their past two games and they are a long-term 61% ATS play at home in this price range when facing an unrested visitor. Utah also dominated the earlier meeting this season at Orlando when the Jazz won outright 113-94 as a 4-point road underdog.
