Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat odds, starters, injury report, predictions
The Utah Jazz fell short of expectations in their last outing, dropping a contest to the Indiana Pacers 111-100. They’ll be looking to bounce back against a Miami Heat squad that has struggled of late, dropping 3 straight.
The Jazz (8-4) and Heat (7-5) both entered the 2021-22 season with championship aspirations, and both clubs should still be eyeing the Larry O’Brien trophy. Having said that, the Heat are undoubtedly dissatisfied with an early season 3 game skid, while the Jazz have lost games against competitors they should have readily handled.

Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat Prediction
This game has the potential to be an all-out war. The Miami Heat are in the midst of a three game losing streak, and will enter this contest feeling especially motivated. Despite their recent struggles, South Beach’s finest have looked the part of NBA championship contender at times this season, and they’ll likely bring all the energy they can harness in this contest with the Jazzmen.
On the other hand, the Utah Jazz don’t lack for motivation either. They’re coming off of a tough loss against the Pacers and looking to bounce back. Furthermore, they’ve simply been the better team to-date in terms of net rating (7.9 vs 7.0). Factor in Jimmy Butler’s questionable status for tonight’s contest, and the safe money looks to be on a narrow Utah Jazz win.
Prediction: Jazz 110, Heat 104
