Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards Prediction
If you’re bracing yourself for a major surprise in this section of the article: relax. Let your hair down. The Jazz remain in the same position they usually are: in the driver’s seat.
These Wizards had an unexpectedly strong start to the 2021-22 season, but they’ve cooled off considerably of late. This is a talented, deep squad, but outside of Bradley Beal, they want for elite talent. A ragtag crew of reasonably effective rotation players isn’t likely to overcome a perfectly tuned machine like the Utah Jazz.
Look for the Jazz to come away with their seventh straight win in this one.
Prediction: Jazz 127, Wizards 113
