"Utah" - "Philadelphia". NBA match forecast
On December 29, as part of the next game day in the NBA, a match will take place between Utah and Philadelphia. Will the hosts finally be able to break the losing streak or will the visitors continue their ascent in the standings? - read our forecast.
Command Analysis
Utah Jazz
USACurrent form
The Jazzmen continue to disappoint their fans. The team cannot get out of the top three outsiders of the Western Conference, despite individual bursts of activity. In the last matches, Utah suffered two defeats in a row, first from Cleveland (113:124), and then from Portland (120:122).
The main problem remains the instability of the game and injuries to key players, which seriously undermines the team results. Utah is trying to act aggressively in attack, but mistakes in defense and the absence of leaders make their efforts ineffective. The upcoming meeting on the home court against Philadelphia is a chance to try to rehabilitate, but the opponent is not easy.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Keyonte George and Taylor Hendricks are all out next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Jazz have gone five games without a home win.
Probable lineup: Mikhailiuk - Markkanen, Kessler - Collier, Sexton.
Philadelphia 76ers
USACurrent form
The Sixers began to return to stability. The team won two games in a row, beating San Antonio (111:106) and Boston (118:114). These successes allowed Philadelphia to get closer to tenth place in the Eastern Conference.
Tyrese Maxey is confidently taking on the role of leader, and his individual actions have a significant impact on the team results. Joel Embiid continues to be a key player, adding power to the attack. The away game against Utah looks like an excellent opportunity for Nick Nurse men to extend their winning streak and strengthen their position in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kenyon Martin and Jared McCain will miss the game against Utah due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
The Sixers have won four of their last five games.
Probable lineup: Martin - George, Embiid - Oubre, Maxi.

It hard to say that Utah is ready for this match. Injuries to key players and the team weak form have a negative impact on the results. Philadelphia, on the contrary, has caught the spirit and is showing a confident game.
The visitors are in great shape and have every chance to take advantage of the Jazz inconsistency. We believe the Sixers will be able to extend their winning streak thanks to better offensive play and stability on defense.
