Why Utah Jazz are a good bet -9 ½?

Are the Jazz a secure bet in the NBA spread?

The Utah Jazz only 3-2 SU in their last 5, but they’ve gone an awesome 4-1 ATS. The Jazz, like many teams in the NBA, steps it up big time at home, going a healthy 16-12-1 ATS this season.

The real reason to back the Jazz is because Rudy Gobert should dominate the Clippers in the paint. Neither Ivica Zubac nor Montrezl Harrell will keep up with Gobert. Rudy averages 15.4 points and 12.9 boards. He shoots 65.4% from the field. He’ll dominate on Wednesday night.
