Jazz Form & Balance Check

Last season Utah was the best regular season team in the entire NBA. Jazz dominated the action until the postseason, but then it was over in the semifinals against the Clippers. This year, the team around Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert want to attack again and confirm the performance of the last regular season in the playoffs. After a furious start, things went down a bit recently, the latest game against the weakly started Pacers surprisingly lost the Jazz with 100-111.

Utah only with occasional changes in the summer

Such a small phase of weakness should not worry anyone. The NBA season is 82 games long, with all teams going through minor or major fluctuations. For Utah, it was first important in the off-season to hold the strong core of the squad together. The Jazz have not lost any of their key players, were able to keep point guard Mike Conley and also gained important experience for the squad width on the bench with Rudy Gay, Hassan Whiteside and Eric Paschall. The starting five has remained completely intact, so that nothing stands in the way of another strong year for Utah.

Jazz Facts & Analysis

• Balance of 8-4
• 3rd place in the west
• Last lost to Indiana 100-111

Heat Form & Bilanz Check

For Miami, the first West Coast road trip of the season is absolutely not going according to plan. After the extremely strong start, the Heat also wanted to prove themselves in the difficult matchups at the other end of the country, but so far have only paid the hardship. After the clear defeat in Denver, Miami couldn’t take anything countable back-to-back against the two teams from LA. Unlike the Nuggets, the Heat could or should have taken something with both the Lakers and the Clippers, so all hope is not lost.

Butler coming back?

Nevertheless, the Heat are currently in a series of three defeats in a row, the overall balance with 7-5 is suddenly not that impressive anymore. Miami won the last victory four games ago against Utah, of all things, which now wants to return the favor on home soil. The Heat are again concerned about Jimmy Butler, who had an early twist against the Lakers and was completely absent in the duel with the Clippers. The absence of the all-important butler may well have played a role in the two most recent defeats.

Heat facts & analysis

• Balance from 7-5
• 7th place in the east
• Last game at the Clippers lost 109-112
• Currently 3 defeats in a row

To bwin

Utah continues to rely on the successful Starting Five from last year. Currently, the jazz only have to do without Rudy Gay, but the Bench Unit is still very strong with Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles, Eric Paschall and Hassan Whiteside. At the Heat, Butler was replaced against the Clippers by the previously outstanding Sixth Man Tyler Herro, who thanked him directly with 23 points. Should Butler not be able to play again, Herro should start again. In addition, Markieff Morris and the long-term injured Victor Oladipo are still missing.

Jazz – Heat Tipp

We see a close duel at eye level in this match-up between two strong teams in weak form. Both squads are excellently filled, but have not been able to show this on the floor recently. If we had to make a decision, we would rather go for jazz. Miami seems already tired on the whole road trip and is lagging behind the shape of the start of the season, and away games in Utah are always difficult given the fanatical crowd. In addition, the home team always won this duel.

Should Jimmy Butler not be able to play again, we would also bet on a point-rich game by Donovan Mitchell with at least 26 points. That would hit the previous season average of the Guard, who scores game after game despite their low efficiency. Mitchell has the green light to throw from Coach Snyder, and with Butler on the other side, the suitable defender is probably missing. Herro and Robinson should not be able to stop “Spida”.
