Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Evan Mobley is injured. This is the main news. Losing him, the side has lost a good option in the offensive actions and the main defender, with all defensive actions being built around him. It’s impossible to find a substitution for such a player. This is why Cleveland will do their best to try not to fall down hard in the next 2 months.
Utah Jazz
Everything’s calm in Utah. The side goes with the flow, sometimes beating strong teams. However, most of the time they provide experience to young players. Clarkson and Collins are about to leave the team soon, so the team will try to pick someone new.
Cleveland Cavaliers – Utah Jazz prediction
Cleveland keeps on being in the play-offs zone thanks to what Mitchell does. Donovan will play against his ex-team, which shouldn’t be underestimated.
I believe that bookmaker underestimate the fact that Evan Mobley will miss the game and that the attacking line of Utah is good enough. Utah Jazz have scored over 116 points in 4 out of the last 5 games against pretty strong teams.
