Jazz at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 120, Trail Blazers 115

Moneyline

The road team has won the last 3 matchups, including twice this season. The Jazz are 9-16 on the road this season and 2-5 in their last 7 road games while the Blazers are 3-4 in their last 7 home games and only have 3 wins in their last 11 games.

This is the perfect game to go with the underdog with some nice positive odds.

BET JAZZ (+150).

Against the spread

The Jazz are 28-22 ATS this season overall and have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10.

The Blazers are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10. They are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games playing on one day’s rest.

The Jazz are a good pick to cover, but the better bet here is to go with the moneyline unless you aren’t as confident in them getting a straight-up win.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 4-0 in the Jazz’ last 4 games against a team with a winning home record (Portland is 12-10 at home). It is also 5-0 in Utah’s last 5 road games.

However, none of the last 10 meetings between the 2 teams has reached above Wednesday’s projected total.

BET UNDER 238.5 (-115).

Jazz at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 119, Trail Blazers 114

Moneyline

The Jazz are 5-5 on the road and have dropped their last 2 road games.

The Blazers are only 4-3 at home so far this season.

The Jazz are 2-2 on the back end of back-to-backs and 1-2 when they have had less rest than their opponent.

Portland is 1-1 when more rested than its opponent.

The Jazz have won the last 4 games against the Blazers and 7 of the last 8 meetings.

BET JAZZ (+145).

Against the spread

The Jazz are 11-6 ATS. They have covered the spread in all but 1 of their wins and have failed to cover it in all but 1 of their losses.

The Blazers are 11-4 ATS but only 2-2 ATS as favorites.

Expecting the Jazz to win, the better bet is the moneyline. Taking the Jazz at +4.5 isn’t a bad play, but the positive odds of the moneyline make it a better play.

PASS

Over/Under

Only 2 of the Blazers’ last 9 games have finished with 227 or more total points.

The Jazz, though, have had 5 of their last 6 go for at least 227 points. Four of their last 5 wins had 227 or more points.

BET OVER 227.5 (-115).
