Jazz vs Wizards best bet: Keyonte George Over 25.5 points (-115)

No Lauri Markkanen for the Utah Jazz means Keyonte George is the top guy at the moment, and he’s running with the opportunity. The Baylor product has cashed the Over in back-to-back games with ease.

On Monday, George put together a 36-point game against the Nuggets in a tight loss. The Jazz then fell by just four points on Wednesday evening versus the 76ers, but George put his best foot forward, balling out for 30. 

The Washington Wizards are in the gutter of the East and sit 29th in defensive rating. George will go off again.

Jazz vs Wizards same-game parlay

Utah is in the midst of a seven-game losing skid, but a win is right around the corner. Their last two games against two solid teams have been incredibly close, and they’ve won four of their last five meetings with Washington 

After giving Philly a run for their money, the Jazz will finally end the losing run tonight. 

Kyle Filipowski is averaging 6.7 rebounds this season, but he’s been a larger presence on the boards lately. The big man has cashed the Over in boards in back-to-back contests. 

The Duke product had 11 rebounds in Philadelphia, and grabbed eight boards against the Nuggets on Monday.
