How To Bet On Utah Jazz Odds

There are many ways to bet Utah Jazz odds during the NBA season.

The most common are the three major markets: spread bets, moneyline bets and over/under bets. Let’s take a look at some examples from an upcoming game hosting the San Antonio Spurs.

• Jazz -9.5: This is the point spread. Since the Jazz are favorites (denoted by the minus sign), they are giving 9.5 to the Spurs. That is, they must win the game by at least 10 to cover the spread, which would cash your Jazz ticket.
• Jazz -540: This is the moneyline. Again, the Jazz are favorites (minus sign), so the bettor must “lay” a price. That is, they must put up $540 for every $100 they wish to win on the Jazz.
• Over/Under 242: This is the betting total. Bettors taking the over must see at least 243 points scored in order to win their bets. Those on the under must see 241 or fewer. If the game lands on 242, everyone gets their money back.

Any of these bets can usually be combined with other bets in parlays. A same game parlay with multiple wagers from one Jazz game also gives the option of combining multiple bets in hopes of a bigger payout.

Smaller Markets, Other Jazz Betting Options

Getting past the basics, player props are probably the next most popular way to bet the NBA. Since few if any team sports are more individual player-driven than the NBA, player props for the association are a very popular option. Rather than simply betting the Jazz to beat the Spurs, one can bet that Lauri Markkanen will score more than, say, 28.5 points. Or, they can bet that he will snag more than 8.5 rebounds. People love to bet props on their favorite players and in nationally televised games.

We’ve already discussed futures bets above. These allow a bettor to make a wager that the Jazz can accomplish some feat at a later date: win the division, the conference, the NBA Finals, surpass a certain number of wins, etc.

NBA bettors can also try teasers. Usually, NBA teasers involve buying four points from the sportsbook — for example, turning Jazz -9.5 into Jazz -5.5 against the Spurs — but in exchange, the bettor must parlay that adjusted price with at least one more adjusted price. Generally speaking, it isn’t advised to bet NBA teasers. “Key numbers” don’t exist they way they do for NFL games. Therefore, buying points is usually a losing proposition.

Finally, there’s live betting. Live betting has gained more and more steam in recent years, particularly in the NBA. Live betting the NBA is a great way to take advantage of things like lineup changes and random scoring runs. Teams very frequently make up large deficits in the modern, 3-point-centric NBA. That makes live betting teams that fall behind early an attractive option.

Pay attention to plus-minus data as well to help find an edge. For example, of the high-minutes Jazz players, Lauri has the best net rating on the team by a huge margin (+11.4). If the team sends him to the bench for his regular rest, that may be a great time to bet the Spurs live. They’re liable to make up some ground while the All-Star sits.

Utah Jazz Franchise History

The New Orleans Jazz entered the NBA as an expansion franchise in 1974-75. There, they experienced no success, topping out at 39 wins in five seasons and failing to qualify for the playoffs a single time.

The franchise moved to Salt Lake City for the 1979-80 season but kept the ill-fitting name. The team with the mismatched nomenclature continued to struggle, missing the playoffs for four more seasons.

Things changed in the mid-1980s. In back-to-back drafts, the Jazz selected John Stockton and Karl Malone. They formed the nucleus of an incredible streak (which started the year prior to Stockton’s arrival in 1984) of 20 consecutive seasons’ worth of playoff appearances. The two players, along with Coach Jerry Sloan (arrived in 1989-90), built slam-dunk Hall of Fame resumes, with Stockton and Malone compiling record-setting numbers.

After three Western Conference Finals losses in the early- to mid-1990s, the Jazz finally broke through and made the NBA Finals. In both 1997 and 1998 — each part of a run of three 60-plus win seasons in four years — the Bulls defeated the Jazz 4-2.

Utah continued to win in the ensuing five seasons, but they never again reached the NBA Finals with Stockton and Malone. The successful partnership ended prior to the 2003-04 season, and Utah’s playoff streak immediately ended. However, they rebuilt things fairly quickly and found themselves back in the Western Conference Finals in 2006-07. That proved the peak of a brief cycle of contention that saw the Jazz win 50 games a handful of times. Coaching legend Sloan stepped down near the end of that run, and the team entered another four-year playoff drought.

Working with a new core based around defensive stalwart C Rudy Gobert and dynamic guard Donovan Mitchell (draft for 2017-18), the Jazz enjoyed another cycle of contention starting in 2016-17. However, despite several high playoff seeds, the team never so much as reached the conference finals. Rumored discord between the star players led the team to trade both of them prior to 2022-23, and the franchise remains championship-less despite frequent contention across almost 50 seasons.
