76ers vs. Jazz: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

In this story:
The Philadelphia 76ers found a way to bounce back this weekend after putting on a disappointing performance on Thursday night.
Following one of the Sixers’ most impressive wins of the year against the Phoenix Suns on Monday, the Sixers failed to capitalize and keep the ball rolling against the Atlanta Hawks the following game.
On Saturday, the Sixers and the Hawks met for a second-straight matchup. From start to finish, the Sixers had control of the game. While they nearly lost a 27-point lead in the second half, the Sixers avoided a total collapse and came out of Saturday’s matchup on top.
Now, the Sixers have little downtime before they take the court once again. On Sunday, the Sixers will host the Utah Jazz for the first time this year. Going into the 2022-2023 season, the Jazz were viewed as a team that has entered a rebuild.
However, they’ve been a surprisingly successful team through their first 13 games of the year, as they hold a record of 10-4 going into Sunday’s matchup against the 76ers.
