Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers Fantasy NBA: Utah Jazz will enter the contest after winning against the Miami Heat by double digits behind a 26 points effort by Donovan Mitchell. The Philadelphia 76ers will hit the floor after losing to the Phoenix Suns despite Joel Embiid’s 35 points.
Utah Jazz has been the top team in the NBA standings for the Western Conference and their form is a result of the tremendous offensive and defensive output that they are generating. Rudy Gobert has been phenomenal at the Center position on defense and Donovan Mitchell is tearing it up on the offensive end. The Jazz has a blend of team players who know how to perform their roles and this enables them to put together great collective defensive performances.
The Philadelphia Sixers are the number 1 team in the Eastern Conference and Joel Embiid provides them with fuel on both sides of the floor. For the Sixers, the bench has also stepped up its game and players like Shake Milton have had a profound impact on the game. The Sixers have a great mixture of players who can shoot and finish at the rim while being disciplined on the defensive end.

The Sixers have lost their two games in a row and the road trip has been a little tricky for the top-notch squad, while the Jazz is playing like a team that belongs to the NBA Finals because they have laid the foundations for a great season and can end up topping the Western Conference, which is extremely loaded. The Center match-up between Joel Embiid and Rudy Gobert is perhaps the highlight as Joel is a magnificent scorer and Gobert is a terrific defensive stopper, so there is a lot of promise. The Jazz will look to fend away the Sixers at their home and it will not be easy for the 76ers to eke out a win against a team that is peaking right now. Ben Simmons may draw the assignment of Donovan Mitchell and he has been a terrific defensive player so far. The edge belongs to the Jazz but a team like the Sixers can bring the heat in the game and sneak a win. Since the top teams of both conferences are coming face to face, this game is a must-watch on NBA live stream or NBA streams.
NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks:
Joel Embiid
PPG: 29.6
RPG: 10.8
SPG: 1.3
BPG: 1.2
TPG: 3.3
Projected Fantasy Points: 51
Joel is having an MVP-like campaign and there is no doubt that he will be in contention for the award this season. He has led the 76ers to one of the best records in the league and has looked like the most dominating player at his position. Joel continued to dominate in the loss against the Suns, bagging 35 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Joel has now scored 30 or more in the 4 out of the last 5 games. He is an excellent pick as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Rudy Gobert
PPG: 14.0
RPG: 13.4
BPG: 2.8
TPG: 1.7
Projected Fantasy Points: 38
Rudy is perhaps the most intimidating defensive player who guards the paint like a hawk. His length allows him to swipe multiple shots during a single game and his presence has enabled the Jazz to post an impressive record before the mid-season. Gobert compiled 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks in the win against the Heat.
Donovan Mitchell
PPG: 24.2
APG: 5.1
RPG: 4.3
TPG: 3.0
Projected Fantasy Points: 37
Mitchell leads the Jazz in scoring and after overcoming the jitters early in the season, he has looked like one of the more imposing offensive players for the Utah Jazz. His great play has enabled them to have a potent offense that can counter the most loaded squads. He is coming off 26 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal outing in the win against the Miami Heat.
Ben Simmons
PPG: 14.1
RPG: 8.3
APG: 7.9
SPG: 1.7
TPG: 3.3
Projected Fantasy Points: 39
Ben Simmons is becoming one of the elite defenders in the League and his size and lateral movements enable him to disrupt a lot of Point Guards. Ben performs the role of the floor general for the Philadelphia 76ers and he just signed a huge contract for them. He compiled a stat line of 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals in the loss to the Suns.
Sleeper Picks:
Tobias Harris: Harris is averaging an impressive 20.0 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 3.1 APG. Tobias is a coach’s dream as his experience enables him to study both the offensive and ends, plus he supplements his squad with tremendous rebounding. Tobias is a prime contributor to the current record of the Sixers and remains one of the most team-oriented and underrated players at his position. He is coming off 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists outing in the loss to the Suns. Projected Fantasy Points: 35
Bojan Bogdanovic: The SF is averaging 15.8 PPG and 4.0 RPG. Bojan is well adept at shooting the ball and stretching the floor for the Utah Jazz while playing great team defense. He has helped Jazz become a more imposing offensive unit and continued his great scoring season in the win against the Heat, bagging 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. Projected Fantasy Points: 28
Jordan Clarkson: Clarkson is averaging 17.9 PPG and 4.3 RPG. Clarkson provides instant offense off the bench to the Jazz and has given them incredible depth at the guard spot. He can create his offense in a myriad of ways but had a tough shooting night versus the Miami Heat, getting hold of 11 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. Projected Fantasy Points: 25
Joe Ingles is averaging 11.3 PPG, 4.7 APG, and 3.5 RPG. Projected Fantasy Points: 24
Seth Curry is averaging 12.7 PPG and 2.7 APG. Projected Fantasy Points: 19

Note
Fantasy Points are the total number of points players amass based upon points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, and turnovers. Following is the table for the categories and their points value
Category | Point Value |
Point | 1 |
Assist | 1.5 |
Rebound | 1.2 |
Steal | 3 |
Block | 3 |
Turnovers | -1 |
For example, if a player has 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers, then the total value will be 26 (10+5*1.2+4*1.5+1*3+1*3-2*1). A Super-Player gets two times increase in the total fantasy points, so if the Player gets 20 points then it will be doubled to 40. In the case of Pro-Player, he gets a 1.5 increase, which means if a player gets 20 points then the total becomes 35. Projected Fantasy Points given here are based upon season averages and prediction analysis.
