They have not been winning a lot of games but they are keeping close in these games without Jimmy Butler. The Jazz have not been playing well recently with their most losses of the season coming in their last 5 game span. The best bet to place in this game is on the Heat to cover the spread as they have been playing well and will keep this game close even without their stars with the way that the Jazz are playing right now.
