LiontipsUtah vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Utah got into a crisis now. After a great start of the season Quin Snyder's men relaxed a little bit. As a result, Jazzmen lost four most matches out of five. Jazzmen were looking terrible in the last two. In these matches they were beaten by Indiana (100:111) and Miami (105:111).
Utah recorded the most recent victory one week ago. Back then, Snyder's men recorded a home victory over Atlanta (110:98). Jazzmen should start to improve their game if they want to get back on track.
Philadelphia still have to play without Joel Embiid. His absence significantly affected team's performance. That's why Doc Rivers' men suffered four consecutive defeats, losing to New York (96:103), Milwaukee (109:118), Toronto (109:115) and Indiana (113:118).
Aside from Embiid, 76ers also miss Danny Green and Matisse Thybull. It is also unknown, whether Aaron Henry will play. Overall, it won't be an easy game for Doc Rivers' team.

Tip and bets
Utah has a defensive style of play. Snyder's men are looking exceptionally well on defense at home games. At Vivint Smart Home Arena their opponents scored only 104,9 points per game on average. Philadelphia players are unlikely to beat such a strong defense. It will be extremely hard to do without Joel Embiid.
Our prediction - total under 220 points
Both teams are in a crisis, so we are not expecting a victory from one of them. This match will probably be won by only a handful of points. In this case, we can offer to place a bet on a plus handicap for the Sixers.
Our second prediction - Handicap (+10,5) points for the Sixers
