SportsLine's model reveals its Washington Wizards vs. Utah Jazz predictions and Thursday NBA picks as Trae Young makes his debut for Washington
Teams near the bottom of their respective conferences meet on on Thursday as the Utah Jazz travel to take on the Washington Wizards. Utah is 18-44 and 14th in the Western Conference standings. Washington is 16-45 and 13th in the East. Anthony Davis (finger), Kyshawn George (elbow) and Alex Sarr (hamstring) remain out for Washington, but the Wizards are set for the debut of Trae Young, who was traded to the team in January, but hasn't played yet due to a knee/quad injury. Utah has not revealed its injury report as it is on the second game of a back to back.
Tipoff from Capital One Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Washington is a 3.5-point home favorite in the latest Wizards vs. Jazz odds, while the over/under is 243.5. Before making any Jazz vs. Wizards picks, check out the NBA predictions and betting advice from the SportsLine Projection Model.

Top Wizards vs. Jazz predictions
After 10,000 simulations of Jazz vs. Wizards, SportsLine's model is going Under on the total (243.5). Young's presence could spark Washington's offense in the long term, but he's expected to play limited minutes at this point, and rust certainly could be a factor as well.
Both teams have little motivation at this point, and the Jazz will likely rest some players after playing on Wednesday, so the offenses might not be in gear enough to clear this total. The model projects 233 combined points as the Under hits nearly 70% of the time.
How to make Jazz vs. Wizards picks
The model also says one side of the spread hits well over 60% of the time. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
