The Washington Wizards look for their second straight victory on Friday when visiting the Utah Jazz. The Wizards improved to 21-36 following their 110-106 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Jerome Robinson sank a 3-pointer with just 8.4 seconds to play helping lift the Wizards to the victory over the Nets and in the process snap a three-game losing streak.

Bradley Beal is leading Washington in scoring and assists with averages of 30.1 points and 6.0 assists per game. Troy Brown Jr. is the leading rebounder for the Wizards with an average of 5.4 per game. David Bertans is the second leading scorer for Washington with an average of 15.0 per game.

Utah's problems continue as the Jazz lost their fourth straight game when falling to the Boston Celtics 114-103 on Wednesday. With the loss, Utah dropped to 36-22 and into a tie for second with the Oklahoma City Thunder four games behind first-place Denver in the Northwest division. The Jazz have lost four straight after winning four in a row.

Donovan Mitchell is the leading scorer for Utah with an average of 24.7 points per game, while Rudy Gobert is the rebounding leader with an average of 14.2 per game and Joe Ingles is leading in assists with an average of 5.1 per game. The Jazz have five players averaging double-figures in scoring.

Utah needs to right the ship quickly after losing four straight and there's no better way to do that then facing the lowly Washington Wizards. The Jazz have won seven of their last eight straight up against Washington at home and nine of their last 10 SU against an opponent from the Eastern Conference. The Wizards have failed to cover seven of their last eight overall against Utah. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win and cover ATS 118-105.
