Nets +3.5

Our model projects a 4.5% edge on Brooklyn getting 3.5 in Utah. Jazz resting Markkanen (his 14th absence) with Kessler already out for the season removes their two most impactful bigs. Illness sweeping through Utah's roster — Nurkic, Cody Williams, and Kevin Love all day-to-day — could further thin the rotation. The line moved from +2.5 to +3.5 as sharp money pushed this number. Both teams are tanking — Brooklyn 12-34, Utah 15-33. Getting 3.5 points between two bad teams when the home side is this depleted is too much. Multi-fund agreement with sharp indicators confirms the value.
