Sacramento has lost 4 of its last 6 overall and much of that is due to the Kings being eliminated from playoff contention. Utah on the other hand trails fourth place Portland by just two games and could catch the Trail Blazers for home court advantage during the first round of the playoffs and needs to win to hold off the sixth-place Clippers. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win and cover ATS 118-104.
