Jazz vs Cavaliers Predictions

Jazz vs Cavaliers is an inter-conference Conference tilt between two teams that have wildly differing trajectories entering the home stretch of the 2021 season. The Jazz are an elite team that is simply looking to protect the top playoff seed in the Western Conference. They are more likely than not to have home court advantage throughout the playoff.

The Cavaliers on the other hand are just a low end team in both the Eastern Conference and the league. They are heading for a very high lottery selection in the NBA Draft with playoff hopes being essentially absent.

Jazz vs Cavaliers has been played over 100 times, with the split leaning slightly to the Jazz side. The Jazz have won over 55% of the historical matchups. Recent seasons also favor the Jazz, but to a much more dominant extent than in the long term history.

The Cavaliers have always lost more than they’ve won but have had full futility against the Jazz in recent seasons. Recent history would say this is an avalanche on the Jazz side. This is a byproduct of the shambles the Cavaliers were left in after Lebron James departure. The Jazz have also been a quality team for years now.

Why bet the Jazz?

✅ Cavaliers road ineptitude continues: The Cavaliers continue to be one of the league’s worst road teams. They are not the league’s worst road team by record, but they certainly remain the easiest team to blow out. Their -12.1 average differnetial in road games remains the worst in the league by a wide margin. That is the average, and not accounting for games agaisnt utterly dominant home teams…

✅ Jazz invincible at home: The Jazz continue to be dominant at a mind blowing level. Their home floor is the most difficult to play in the NBA, and by a wide margin. Their 19-2 home record continues to not do them justice for how well they have played. They are both the best offensive and defensive team in the league in home games. Their +13.5 average point differential is still over five points per game better than the second best home team. This is a case where the home team that is best at steam rolling opponents is hosting the most easily steam rolled road team.

✅ Conference splits: The Cavs have actually played the Eastern Conference tough, but have utterly wilted against the Western Conference. Their 4-17 record against the West perfectly sums up that ineptitude. For reference, they have a winning record against the East. On the other hand, the Jazz have been dominant against the East. They are 19-5 against the East including a perfect 9-0 on their home floor.

Cavaliers vs Jazz has been played over 100 times, with just a slight edge going to the Jazz on the historical split. The more recent years have been non-competitive, tilting heavily towards the Jazz. The recent split points the Jazz side in with flashing neon lights. The long term history as well as the recent years splits do carry some weight in this matchup, as the Jazz continue to carry a superior roster and have had their way. History is just one indicator, and it is one piece of the puzzle to look at for best predictions on Cavaliers vs Jazz.

Jazz vs Cavaliers Against the Spread Predictions

Jazz vs Cavaliers against the spread predictions refer to whether the Cavaliers or Jazz win or lose by the necessary points to cover the spread. The spread is a set number of points the favorite needs to win by or the underdog needs to lose by less than to be considered a wagering winner.

For a hypothetical line, we will use the Jazz -15.5. This means your wager on the Jazz would require them to win by more than fifteen points to be considered a winner. If you bet on the Cavaliers, at +15.5, they would need to either win the game outright or to lose by fewer than sixteen points to have your wager be considered a winner.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Over/Under Betting

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Over/Under betting is a way of wagering on the contest without needing to pick the team that wins the game. Instead, these wagers are against a set total of combined points in the game. For a hypothetical example, we will use a total set at 220.5 points. Over/Under wagers on this Cavaliers vs Jazz contest would be betting over or under 220.5 combined points combined.

There are many factors you should consider when diving into Over/Under wagering. These factors include pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency.

Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor is a large edge when over/under wagering.

Utah Jazz vs Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline Predictions

Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play in terms of the wager.

Instead of laying or taking the points on the point spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on this game, using our best Utah Jazz vs Cleveland Cavaliers Money Line predictions, a Money Line wager is worth considering. This will allow you to avoid the point spread and simply pick the winner.

For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our Jazz -15.5 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread bet, the Jazz can be bet on to simply win outright while laying odds. The Cavaliers can be wagered on to win the game outright while getting odds.

In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -1250 on the Jazz and expect to get about +750 on the Cavaliers.

With the all time series being played to just a slight edge for the Jazz, long-term history cannot help you as a determining factor on a money line wager. However, history is just one piece of the puzzle and all other factors need to be considered. The current season’s trends siding mightily with the Utah Jazz is a helpful indicator and is more important in terms of a betting selection.

Check above for a synopsis and who to play in this Cavaliers vs Jazz matchup.

The NBA carries the most fluid odds of all the major sports in the United States. We often see a slow release of odds and against the spread, over/under and money line odds all fluctuate. This often happens rapidly throughout a given day leading up to tipoff. The Cavaliers vs Jazz regular season matchup won’t draw a massive betting market from the general public, so just a handful of large wagers could move the lines significantly in one direction or the other.

We currently have no sports books in the United States that offer streaming of NBA games. This will certainly change in the future, but for now we are still required to turn to paid streaming services that might have the game you are looking for. For live streaming Jazz vs Cavaliers you are limited to YouTubeTV, FuboTV, Hulu, and of course, NBA League Pass.
