Utah is coming off a very nice road win on Sunday, beating Houston 97-89. Three players had 17 points each including Kyle Korver who the Jazz got from Philadelphia late last month. "It took me a couple of games to get the feel for the offense," said Korver, "It's different than what I was used to in Philly. Here, I feel like on every play, there is an opportunity for you to get the ball and score." The Jazz are 10-2 since they got Korver.
SBG Global Current Line: Jazz - 2.5 , Total 196 (-120)
