10* UNDER Jazz/Heat (ASSASSIN)

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. Utah has won two straight on the road and it's seen the total go "over" in five straight. Note though that Utah has see the total go "under" in eight of its last 11 after playing to five or more straight "overs" in a row. Utah though plays with revenge after a high-scoring 126-123 home setback to the Heat as a 4.5-point favorite on December 31st. Note though that Utah has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. The Heat have been trading good performances with bad ones of late. Off a poor 126-114 OT loss to Orlando as a 2.5-point favorite, I'm expecting the home side to double down on the defensive end this evening. Look for this non-conference game to be less intense offensively and for this total to stay "under" the number once the final horn sounds!
