Rockets Jazz Odds Against

How to read NBA Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to attract bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.

Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $91.91 (10% juice)

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NBA Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state of Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NBA bets.

Another number that’s posted on the NBA Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.

All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NBA Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.

NBA Open Line

One of the best features on the NBA Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NBA or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.

VI Consensus NBA Line

The VegasInsider.com Consensus NBA Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.

The Line: Orlando Magic +10.5 -- Over/Under: 217.5Click to Get Latest Betting Odds

The Utah Jazz pay a visit to the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center on Saturday night.

The Utah Jazz have been the hottest team in the league as they’ve won 21 of their past 24 games, but they will be hoping to bounce back here after falling to the Heat in a 124-116 road loss last night. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 30 points on 11 of 26 shooting, Bojan Bogdanovic added 17 points, Rudy Gobert scored 15 points with 12 rebounds and two blocks while Mike Conley chipped in with 14 points and seven assists. As a team, the Jazz shot just 42 percent from the field and 15 of 46 from the 3-point line as they looked to be gaining the ascendancy with 41 points in the third quarter, before going cold in the fourth quarter where they managed just 22 points as the Heat pulled away. Jordan Clarkson has been on fire this season but he had a night to forget as he finished with just 13 points on four of 17 shooting off the bench.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have won four of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting routed by the Nets in a 129-92 road loss on Thursday. Nikola Vucevic led the team with 28 points and 12 rebounds, James Ennis added 15 points while Michael Carter-Williams and Dwayne Bacon each scored 11 points. As a team, the Magic shot just 40 percent from the field and nine of 36 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nice start to jump out to an early 10-point lead, before getting blown off the floor in the second quarter where they allowed 41 points. Terrence Ross has been a rock for the Magic off the bench this season, but he had a night to forget as he scored just five points on one of nine shooting on Thursday.

Rockets Jazz Odds 2020

Looking at the betting trends, the Jazz are 27-11-1 ATS in their last 39 games against a team with a losing record, 4-1 ATS in their last five games playing on zero days’ rest and 23-5 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The Magic are 10-21-1 ATS in their last 32 games against a team with a winning record and 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog.

Jazz Rockets Betting Odds

Head to head, the under is 4-1 in the last five meetings overall, the Jazz are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Orlando and the Jazz are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall.

The Jazz have been the benchmark of the league and will be eager to bounce back after suffering a rare loss last night, while the Magic are coming into this one fresh off a 37-point loss to the Nets. The line is a little hefty and it’s tempting to take the Magic at home, but the Jazz are 23-5 ATS in their last 28 games overall and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Orlando. Give me Utah to bounce back in fine fashion with an easy win here.
