The Utah Jazz used to be a team that couldn’t win on the road but that has changed this NBA wagering season. The Jazz have been right around the .500 mark all season on the road and that is a major difference for this year’s team. In the past, the Jazz excelled at home and collapsed on the road. This year Utah has proven they are tough in road games. "We have more confidence on the road now," said Deron Williams. "We realize if we come and create our own energy and play with intensity on defense and get stops, then we’ll have a chance to win ballgames." The Jazz are listed as a 5.5 point NBA wagering odds favorite with a total of 202.5 at SBG Global. Watch all the sports wagering action live at 7:35pm ET on NBA-TV.
This is a key trip for the Jazz as they still have to play at Milwaukee and Oklahoma City. "We have to prove, not only to ourselves but to everyone else, that we can win on the road consistently," said Carlos Boozer. "This is a good test for our team. When the NBA wagering playoffs get here, we’ve got to win on the road. … So we’re looking forward to it."
Utah needs to start playing well from start to finish on the road. They have rallied from big deficits but that is not the way to consistently win games. "We’d rather not have to come back," said Boozer. "We’d rather be ahead the whole game, of course. But we do have a lot of resiliency. We have a lot of faith and belief in what we’re able to do. If we happen to be in that situation, we know we can come back and win the game." One thing to keep an eye on in this NBA wagering odds game is the status of Detroit’s leading scorer Rodney Stuckey who is questionable.
The Jazz are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 vs. the Central. The Jazz are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games playing on no rest. The Jazz are 36-15-3 ATS in their last 54 games overall. The Jazz are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Detroit. The Pistons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Northwest. The Pistons are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games.
The Over is 6-1 in Utah’s last 7 overall. The Over is 7-3 in Utah’s last 10 games playing on no rest. The Over is 5-2 in the Pistons last 7 home games. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Detroit.

Wright State vs Butler NCAA Basketball Wagering
The Butler Bulldogs will try and help some of the bubble teams as they face Wright State on Tuesday in the Horizon League Championship. The 12th ranked Bulldogs are going to make the NCAA Tournament regardless of whether they win on Tuesday or not. If Wright State can pull off the upset though, it would take away an at-large bid from one of the bubble teams. The Raiders have their work cut out for them as Butler has won 19 straight games including both matchups against Wright State this college basketball wagering season. Butler is listed as a 7.5 -point wagering odds favorite at SBG Global with a total of 122. Watch all the sports wagering odds action live at 9pm ET on ESPN.
Wright State took out Detroit 69-50 on Saturday to reach the title game of the Horizon League while Butler beat Milwaukee 68-59 to reach the Championship. The Horizon League would love to send two teams to the NCAA Tournament but that will only happen if Wright State wins on Tuesday. The Raiders have 20 wins but they will be playing in the NIT unless they upset the Bulldogs.
Butler was not that sharp on Saturday but they still got past Milwaukee. "We weren’t as crisp as we want to be, but they had a lot to do with that," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "I don’t know if there’s any real rhyme or reason to that, but our guys stayed the course." Butler is 1-4 in title games since 2003 and last year they were beaten by Cleveland State. This year’s Butler team does not want a repeat of what happened in the college basketball wagering title game a year ago and that makes Wright State’s job even tougher since the Bulldogs will not be overlooking them on Tuesday.
Wright State has done well in neutral site games this season as they are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games. They also do well on Tuesday’s as they are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Tuesday games. The Raiders are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings against Butler.
Butler has gotten so much respect that they have not been covering the spread very often lately. They are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. They are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games and they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Tuesday games.
The Under is 4-0 in the Bulldogs last 4 overall but the Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the two teams.

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to win their 11th straight home contest on Tuesday as they host the Indiana Pacers at 10:35pm ET. Considering that the Pacers are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers are the best NBA wagering team in the Western Conference, that shouldn’t be a problem. Covering the point spread though is another matter. The Lakers are listed as a 12 point sports wagering odds favorite at SBG Global Sportsbook with a total of 208.5.
The Lakers are coming off a big win on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets even though Kobe Bryant was held in check. Kobe is averaging 27.5 points per game this NBA wagering odds season but he is only averaging 21.3 points per game in the last four. "God knows I love the triangle (offense), but I kind of had to get into a playoff mode a little bit today - just put the ball in my hands and let me make the decisions," Bryant said about the Denver game, "But I missed a lot of shots."
The Lakers routed the Pacers at Indiana back in January 118-96 as Kobe scored 29 points. The Pacers have not had much straight up success against the Lakers, particularly at Staples Center where they have never won. The Pacers are 0-13 all-time at Staples Center. The last time Indiana visited Los Angeles was just over a year ago and the Lakers just barely pulled out a victory, winning 121-119.
Indiana has not done much this season but they do have Danny Granger and he scored 30 points in the Pacers win on Saturday against the Bulls. "It feels real good to get a win," Granger said, "We’ve been struggling a little bit lately and you just have to stay positive. The NBA wagering season is closing out and we have to keep pushing ahead."
The Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Pacific. The Lakers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Tuesday games. The Lakers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games. The Pacers are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles. The Over is 8-3 in the Pacers last 11 vs. the Western Conference. The Over is 12-5-2 in the Pacers last 19 vs. the Pacific. The Under is 5-0 in the Lakers last 5 home games. The Under is 4-1 in the Lakers last 5 vs. the Central. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.
