Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction and Betting Pick. Utah Jazz host Sacramento Kings as -11 favorites with a 191.5 line at 9.00 PM ET on Wednesday, April 8 2015. Utah won four of last five meetings, including the most recent one on Wednesday in Sacramento, 95-101, covering the +1.5 spread as the game went over 190.0.
Utah Jazz won four of their last five games despite missing out on the playoffs, but they seem to be enjoying basketball at the moment. There are plenty of upsides in the Jazz game and they’ll likely finish this season on a high note as the bench players fight for a spot in the roster.
Sacramento Kings are a wreck and have been one throughout the season. They lost five of last six games after a short winning streak, and will now have to play without their leading scorer and rebounder DeMarcus Cousins. That should make things unbearable for the Kings.
