Portland Trail Blazers vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Jazz are coming off a nice win over the Rockets, but it’s just not enough. The Jazz have won two straight games just twice this season. The Trail Blazers have played their best ball of the season over the last month and they’re quietly 32-24-1 ATS on the season. You’ve made some decent profit just blindly betting on the Trail Blazers all season. The line is reasonable and the Jazz are awful. Probably not the best game on Monday's NBA card, but give me the Trail Blazers.
