Trail Blazers vs Jazz Prediction

Don't look now, but the Portland Trail Blazers have won 3 of their last 4 games, and they did beat the Jazz by 16 points a little over a week ago. Yes, on paper the Jazz are the better team than the Trail Blazers, but they're not playing like it lately, and they've lost 6 of their last 8 games overall. I'm not lying chalk with the Jazz against anybody given their current form. I'll grab the free bucket with the Trail Blazers.
