Result:
LOSS

Utah has split its two meetings with Portland this season, losing 108-92 on Nov. 4 but winning 109-96 on New Year's Eve while shooting 50 percent from the field. Gordon Hayward scored 23 points with 10 rebounds and Trey Burke poured in 27 points in the Jazz win. Utah has won two in a row after beating the Lakers 86-74 on Sunday as Hayward finished with 25 points and the Jazz held the Lakers to 32.6 percent from the field. The return of Rudy Gobert from injury has already paid dividends as he contributed 10 points and five rebounds against the Lakers. Portland upset Oklahoma City 115-100 on Sunday as Damian Lillard scored 31 points and made five three-point shots in the final 3:20 of the game. The Trail Blazers snapped a three-game losing streak with the win, but they are still a young team that is not likely to put together another great performance consecutively. The Blazers are 2-5 ATS after an ATS win and 2-5 ATS after a straight-up win. Utah is on a 5-2 ATS run. Take the points on the Jazz.
