Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic Preview

The Jazz are lottery-bound

The Jazz enters this affair after a 25-point beatdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves despite 23 points from Keyonte George. This was their eighth straight loss and they are now 3-12 this month. These outcomes were expected but one huge downside has been Lauri Markannen’s production dip(19.7 points per game compared to 23.2 PPG the previous season), which has lowered his trade value. Collin Sexton has been a livewire on both ends, making for a terrific two-way trade asset, and the Jazz may make some moves around the midseason trade deadline to build for the future. Is Walker Kessler worth retaining even if they get a chance to get a single or multiple first-round picks?

A miserable month for Magic

The Magic come into this game after suffering a 29-point defeat despite a 24-point performance by Franz Wagner. This was their worst performance of the season for many reasons. They lost one against a bottom-feeder squad and looked completely clueless after the first quarter. They have lost two in a row and have an abysmal 4-11 record in January. Their superstar duo of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner have missed around half of the games while lead guard Jalen Suggs is also having injury troubles. The Magic’s offense has been a travesty as they have scored just 99 PPG(lowest) in January while making just 10.7 threes a game, on just 29.8% shooting(Both worst in the league in January).

Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Jazz have lost the plot completely on their home floor, and have conceded 118.9 PPG this month(3rd worst). However, Magic’s thin offense has raised questions about their ability to win against even below-average defensive teams. The Magic need Jalen Suggs to get out of his injury funk to give life to one of the least productive backcourt in the league. Thus, considering both team’s massive issues, we can be in for a close contest.

However, the mid-season NBA basketball has produced a ton of oddities and we have seen oddbooks being upset in major ways. Still, I’d back Magic to get it done but not with full confidence. The total can be over 210 but below 224 points. Paolo Banchero can have a big 25+ points night here while Collin Sexton may cross the 20 points mark.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
