As a team, they shot 39.8 percent from the field while going just 7-for-29 from three-point range in another losing cause. Sacramento is dead last in the NBA in scoring with an average of 97.7 PPG.

Utah at Sacramento Free Game Prediction
There is not all that much on the line for either team in this matchup other than the opportunity to pick up a much-needed win. The Jazz are the better all-around team between the two and they should be able to cover the four points on the road. The ‘best bet’ pick in this game would be the UNDER on the current 202.5-point line in what should remain a defensive battle for all four quarters.
