WIN

Portland is a team who has not produced well all season. This is shown by their 20-51 record on the year as it is also shown with their 7 covers ATS in their last 27 games Portland's scoring average is under 89 ppg on the year and they do not get many second or third looks at the basket due to their 38 rebounds per game. More recent trends show that Portland is giving up more than 105 ppg in their last 5 played as well as shooting around 42% from the floor in that same period of time. On the other side of the floor, when looking at Utah, you will see that they are shooting 50% from the floor, getting nearly 42 rebounds per game and scoring almost 100 ppg in the last 5 that they have played. Utah has gone 3-1 ATS in their last 4 away games and have Andrei Kirilenko who can put a triple-double in the box score on any given night. Look for the Utah Jazz to take control of this game early and empty their bench at the end of this game as it turns into a blowout. Take Utah -5.5 in this game.
