Jazz vs Cavaliers prediction

Jazz vs Cavaliers best bet: Darius Garland Over 18.5 points (-105)

Darius Garland is having another solid campaign for the Cavs, averaging 17.7 points, 6.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game. While he’s missed substantial time due to injury, the guard is doing his part. 

The 25-year-old is coming off a 22-point performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he’s cashed the Over in two of his last three appearances. Garland poured in 29 points last Tuesday as well, versus the Indiana Pacers. 

Garland has played 14 contests at home, and he’s averaging 18.1 points compared to 17.1 PPG on the road. The Utah Jazz are considered an easier matchup for point guards, allowing 28.9 points per night to the position.

Jazz vs Cavaliers same-game parlay

Brice Sensabaugh has been a breath of fresh air for the Jazz, averaging 10.2 points per game. Despite losing by 55 points on Saturday, Sensabaugh balled out for Utah, dropping 26. 

In fact, he’s hit the Over in points in three outings in a row and is averaging 15.5 PPG in January. 

Donovan Mitchell is averaging 3.9 treys on 10 attempts per contest for a 38.5% clip. The guard was just 4-for-10 from long range on Saturday. 

Spida is averaging exactly 3.9 makes at home in 2025-26, and the Jazz are allowing shooting guards to sink 3.83 triples per game. He should find a rhythm from beyond the arc against his former team.
