Trail Blazers at Jazz picks and predictionsPrediction

Jazz 125, Trail Blazers 120

The Blazers are 10-16 in away games and have lost their last 4 on the road.

The Jazz are 11-17 at home this season, but are 2-1 since Jackson joined the team following the trade from the Memphis Grizzlies. He has averaged 22.3 points per game in those 3 games.

Both teams have done all right playing on no rest. Per teamrankings.com, the Blazers are 7-4 when playing the secod game of a back-to-back, while the Jazz are 6-5.

Both teams are playing their final game before the All-Star break, so I’m giving the edge to the home team.

BET JAZZ (+220).

If you aren’t quite confident in the Jazz to win outright, the spread isn’t a bad way to go. The Jazz are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games. Despite their bad overall record, they are 31-24 ATS on the season.

The Blazers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games and 4-6 ATS as away favorites per teamrankings.com.

BET JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Both meetings this season, their last 3 in a row against each other, and 5 of the last 6 have had totals of at least 240 points.

Five of the Blazers’ last 6 games overall have reached 240 total points.

BET OVER 239.5 (-105).
