The Utah Jazz play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Delta Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Pick.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings started their season with two narrow losses, but they will be feeling much better after blowing past the Trail Blazers in a 111-98 home win last night. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 24 points on nine of 20 shooting, DeMar DeRozan added 23 points on seven of 14 shooting, Kevin Huerter added 18 points while Domantas Sabonis tallied 16 points with 13 rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Kings shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 35 from the 3-point line as they played solid defense to start the Game and take the narrow lead into halftime before they poured in 38 points in the third quarter to push the margin out to 26 points and put the Game to bed early.
Utah Jazz
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz are off to a slow start this season as they are now hoping to snap a three-Game losing streak after falling short to the Mavericks in a 110-102 road defeat last night. Collin Sexton led the team with 23 points on nine of 11 shooting, Lauri Markkanen added 17 points with nine rebounds, Keyonte George added 17 points with five assists and John Collins chipped in with 16 points off the bench. As a team, the Jazz shot just 37 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to another sluggish start and scored just 19 points in the first quarter to put them behind right away. The Jazz will take on the Spurs and Nuggets after this one.

Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Kings are still a little shorthanded with Orlando Robinson and Devin Carter still out, while the Jazz are missing Isaiah Collier, Taylor Hendricks, and Drew Eubanks. Both teams are playing this one on zero days’ rest, but while the Jazz are riding a three-Game skid, the Kings have looked good from opening night, and they made it look easy against the struggling Trail Blazers last night. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Jazz got the win at home, but the Kings are looking better with each Game, and I think they can keep the momentum going with another win and cover here.
