NBA Monday: Greg Frank picks Jazz vs Sixers and chants 'Defense'!

Greg Frank

0-1 Sunday, 36-33-1 overall.

Jazz (+5.5) @ Sixers (208)

Pick: Under 208

We might have lost in a big way on Saturday night taking the Sixers-Pacers game under the total, but we’re going right back to the well to start the week tonight. Philadelphia remains above .500 to the under and Utah is an even better 12-8 to the under after 20 games. These two teams played a very competitive 106-104 game last month in Salt Lake City which the Jazz pulled out. Defense is a calling card for both Philadelphia and Utah and neither one defended particularly well in its last outing. The Sixers were fortunate to win a 119-116 game at home against Indiana, while the Jazz weren’t as lucky, getting blown out by Toronto 130-110 North of the border. We’re banking on two title contenders responding the way title contenders would and hunkering down on the defensive end of the floor. The side is tricky given how close the game was last month in Utah, but we’re expecting both teams to get back to their normal defensive ways at Wells Fargo Center on Monday.
