It seems that the Jazz dropped their form, yet they showed that they have the quality in the win against the Heat. They were dominant in this win and the will aim to keep the momentum, but the Jazz is a strong team.
Utah is a team that is playing very good at their home arena. However, they have suffered two defeats in their last two away games. They will be aiming to improve but winning in Orlando is not an easy task. I expect a very competitive game with the Jazz taking the win in a hard fought battle.
