Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview 

The Portland Trail Blazers have split their first four games of the season and they will be eager to stay hot after running past the Lakers in a 122-108 road win on Monday. Deni Avdija led the team in scoring with 25 points. Jrue Holiday looks to be fitting in with his new squad as he added 24 points with six assists on eight of 12 shooting. Jerami Grant scored 22 points off the bench while Donovan Clingan tallied 16 points with 14 rebounds.

As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 43 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and maintain a narrow lead until the third quarter. They put their foot down and started to pull away despite a 41-point performance from the Lakers’ Austin Reaves. 

Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have won two of their first three games and they will be looking to build some momentum after outlasting the Suns in a 138-134 overtime win on Monday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 51 points and 14 rebounds on 14 of 32 shooting, Keyonte George added 26 points with 10 assists while Walker Kessler chipped in with 25 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.

As a team, the Jazz shot just 40 percent from the field and 16 of 49 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered an early 20-point lead to allow the game to go into overtime. Fortunately, the Jazz regrouped and closed the game on a 8-1 run in the final 1:44 to steal the game away at the end.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Trail Blazers are still missing Scoot Henderson, Damian Lillard and Robert Williams III, while the Jazz have ruled out Georges Niang and Isaiah Collier with Jusuf Nurkic listed as questionable. The Trail Blazers will be feeling great about their win over the Lakers on Monday, but I’m not giving them too much credit for that considering how shorthanded the Lakers were.

Instead, I want to give credit to the young Jazz, who have won both their home games so far. They would’ve taken so much confidence from their gritty overtime win over the Suns, so I will back the Jazz to pull off the minor upset at home once again.
