Jazz at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 118, Trail Blazers 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Blazers have lost 8 straight games, and their last 5 have been be double figures. There's no reason to believe they'll bounce back here. The better team-specific play will be on the spread, though.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ -3 (-108).

Utah has performed well this season when expected to. It is 2-0 ATS as an underdog and 4-1 ATS over its last 5 games. The Blazers are not living up to expectations and are 0-5 ATS over their last 5.

The absence of G Malcolm Brogdon has crippled their offense. Portland has scored under 100 points in 4 of its last 5 games. Without many offensive weapons, expect it to struggle against a Jazz team that is littered with competent scorers.

Take JAZZ -3 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-112).

The Blazers are 2-0 O/U over their last 2 games and 7-7 O/U on the season. Portland's defense is awful and has allowed 120 or more in 2 straight games. It has allowed 114 or more in 4 of its last 6.

The Jazz, who are 10-4 O/U and 5-2 O/U over their last 7 games, have an electric offense and have tallied at least 128 points in 2 of their last 3. Expect them to dominate Portland's lacking defense and take OVER 225.5 (-112).
