The Bruins rank in the top 20 in adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. Their top scorer is Johnny Juzang, who averages 17.2 points per game.

Utah (8-10, 1-7 Pac-12) is bottom of the conference, and they’ll be looking to avoid their seventh straight loss.

The choice

UCLA-9.5

The Utes will be playing their first home game since Jan. 8, so it’s tough to bet against a team with such a point spread at home, but UCLA is pretty good at covering that number. Utah is really struggling defensively, and the Bruins will take advantage and exit this game with a double-digit win.
