Command Analysis
Brooklyn Nets
USACurrent form
The Nets continue to fight for a place in the top ten of the Eastern Conference and currently hold 10th place. After a series of three defeats, the team managed to pull itself together and beat Toronto (101:94). The leader in that match was Cameron Johnson, who scored 33 points and proved himself to be one of the key players.
The return to home court is a chance for Brooklyn to strengthen its position. However, it is worth considering that the team is experiencing problems with the depth of the roster, as well as with quality play on defense. The next match against Utah, an outsider of the Western Conference, could be an excellent opportunity to score points if the Nets perform at the proper level.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bojan Bogdanovic, De'Anthony Melton and Trendon Watford are all out of the next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Nets have won 4 of their last 5 head-to-head games.
Probable lineup: Finney-Smith - Johnson, Claxton - Johnson, Simmons.
Utah Jazz
USACurrent form
The Jazz remain in the second-to-last place in the Western Conference and are still finding their game. The victory over Detroit (126:119) in the last match was a long-awaited success after three losses in a row. Colin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen showed excellent attack, which helped Utah achieve the much-needed result.
Despite their position in the standings, the team continues to fight and tries to play aggressive basketball. The away game against Brooklyn will be a test, but the latest victory adds confidence in their abilities. For the Jazz, every win this season is of great importance.

1.88Tip and bets
Brooklyn is playing on its home court and will enter the match as a favorite. However, their game is far from ideal, especially in defense. Utah, inspired by the victory over Detroit, will try to build on their success and show a decent result.
In our opinion, the "jazzmen" are capable of surprising and imposing a fight on the hosts. Nevertheless, the advantage of the "Nets" remains the factor of the home arena and a more organized game in attack. We expect a tough confrontation and a victory for the guests.
Our prediction is a Utah win with overtime at 2.12

Bet on statistics
The Jazz showed a good offensive game against Detroit and will try to continue in the same spirit. Brooklyn weak defense can give the visitors additional chances to beat their individual total.
