The Trail Blazers need to take advantage of games like this to improve their spot in the play-in tournament. However, this is a lot of points for a young Trail Blazers team that’s still learning how to win consistently. I’ll also continue to say it: the Jazz don’t win games and aren’t trying to win but they’re 35-31 ATS on the season. You can make money backing the Jazz. This will be the first time the Trail Blazers are a double-digit favorite since November 2021. The Jazz have covered 7 of their last 10 games as a double-digit underdog. Give me the points with the Jazz.
