The Utah Jazz head to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.

The Utah Jazz dug themselves a big hole when they allowed the Toronto Raptors to build a massive 40-point halftime lead during their Sunday encounter. The Jazz pumped in 73 points in the second half of that games, including 49 in the 3rd quarter but that wasn’t enough as the Raptors beat the Jazz 130-110.

Who Wins?

The Jazz are 1-3 SU in their last four games played. Utah is 4-12 SU in their last 16 games played, and 4-1 SU in their last five games against the Atlantic Division. The 76ers are 7-1 SU in their last eight games played. Philadelphia is 10-0 SU in their last 10 games played at home, and 10-5 SU in their last 15 games played on a Monday. Head to head, the Sixers are 4-1 SU in their last five games played against the Jazz.

The Jazz are 3-0 SU this season in the second of back to back games and they are putting up 120 points per game in those games. However, Utah is just 4-6 SU on the road this season and they scoring just 103.1 points per game in those contests.

The Sixers have won three in a row and seven out of their last eight games played. Josh Richardson has missed the Sixers’ last two games with a hamstring injury and is listed as day to day for this contest. Richardson is the third leading scorer for the Sixers at 16.1 points per game this season.

The Jazz are playing their fifth game in eight days and they are 1-3 on this current road trip. The Sixers have been spotless at home this season and they have lost just once in their last eight games played. I expect another big game from Embiid here with Harris and Simmons helping him beat Utah on Monday night.
