Recent Form: The 76ers, on a four-game losing streak, face the Jazz with Joel Embiid's injury adding to their challenges. The Jazz, currently 10th in the West, dropped two straight games.

Starting Lineups: Injuries hit the 76ers hard, missing key players, while the Jazz start with a healthy lineup.

Betting Tips: Keep an eye on Tobias Harris, with an over/under of 24.5 points, as he takes charge in Embiid and Maxey's potential absence. Markkanen, with an over/under of 23.5 points, has a favorable matchup against a depleted Philly squad.

Prediction: The Jazz, favored at home, are expected to cover the spread against a struggling 76ers squad dealing with injuries. Without Embiid, Utah holds the advantage. Expect the Jazz to secure the win, with Philly likely struggling to reach the 233.5-point total without key players. Game on!
