Shark Bites

The UNDER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the Jazz and Pacers in Utah.
The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Western Conference.
The OVER is 5-2 in the Pacers' last 7 overall.

An up and coming team that's prone to experiencing growing pains, the Jazz have won just two of their last six heading into the tilt. Utah (8-9 SU) ranks in the middle of the pack when it comes to covering the spread this season at 10-7 ATS but should be a team to watch as the season unfolds. Considering how the Western Conference is suddenly weakened, the Jazz have a legitimate shot of making the playoffs this year.

When the Pacers and Jazz collide, low-scoring games are the story. The UNDER has paid out in four of the last five matchups between the clubs.
