Nets vs. Jazz Best NBA Prop Bet

Michael Porter Jr. 5+ Made Threes (+160) via FanDuel

The Jazz have one of the worst perimeter defenses in the NBA, ranking 29th in opponent three-point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 37.9% from beyond the arc. That's great news for Michael Porter Jr., who has made 6+ three-point shots in two straight games.

Nets vs. Jazz Prediction and Pick

Instead of betting on a side in this game, I'm going to look toward the total and bet the OVER. Both teams are better offensively than defensively, evidenced by the fact that the Nets and Jazz rank 26th and 30th in defensive efficiency.

I also expect the Jazz to push the pace in this game. They play at one of the fastest paces in the NBA, ranking second amongst all teams in possessions per game, averaging 106.7.

Let's sit back and root for points on Friday night.
