Action and Line Movement

The line on this game moved from -3 to -2.5 despite better than 80% of the spread action on Utah.  BetOnline hadn't moved off the -3 as of late Tuesday morning oddly enough.   The books believe Denver covers, and probably wins here, otherwise they'd be taking the number up to -3.5 and beyond.  Bovada has already had the line at -3.5. 

Just before 5 pm ET Bookmaker.eu dropped this one to -2.  Just shy of 75% of the spread action was continuing to flow on Utah.

Hot Trends

  • Jazz are 4-16-2 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite.
  • Utah has won the last three meetings and is 3-1 in this Playoffs series as a result but Denver only lost by two points in the last game and had won the four previous meetings.
