Vegas Over/Under: 40.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 44-38
The Bet: Hammer the over The Utah Jazz went 51-31 final season. So how on earth are they expected to win just seven fewer matches after losing their best player?
Well, the solution is simple: They didn’t actually lose their very best player.
Gordon Hayward’s death to the Boston Celtics stings, and the Jazz will have a tough time replacing his elastic production. Even a dynamite rookie year from Donovan Mitchell can not possibly fill the void, and also the small-forward thickness chart looks a little more uninspiring with Joe Ingles and Joe Johnson leading the charge.
However, Rudy Gobert is still patrolling Salt Lake City, ready to prove to the planet he’s indisputably among the NBA’s 20 best players.
Whereas Hayward completed Nos. 29 and 24, respectively, in ESPN.com’s RPM and NBA Math’s TPA, Gobert sat at Nos. 8 and 12 final season. He is arguably the league’s best defensive player, along with his amazing finishing ability around the rim makes him exceptionally precious on the offensive end.
There’s also the simple fact that the Jazz’s net rating increased by 5.7 points per 100 possessions without Hayward, but it fell by 11.3 without Gobert. After the”Stifle Tower” suited up with his now-departed teammate, Utah still submitted a 5.5 net rating, per nbawowy. In the opposite situation, the internet rating stood at minus-6.9.
Utah will probably be worse this season. That much is apparent.
But they are not dropping below .500. Frankly, they shouldn’t even be especially close to this mark.
