Preview

Portland Trail Blazers will meet Utah Jazz on Sunday in Portland, this will be the fourth game between them as the Jazz have destroyed them in last 3 games with a score of 123-85, 120-105 and 129-107 so all blow outs games between the Jazz and Blazers this season.

Utah Jazz haven't been in their best form lately as they covered only 1 in the last 10 games this season. they are coming from a tough lose to the Suns 111-105 in a game that had the Jazz dominating for 3 quarters and then loss by 23 points in the last quarter, so they are probably low in confidence now by it's a must win for them to keep the 5th seed and face either Dallas or the Warriors by a lose might get Denver Nuggets to pass them.

Portland Trail Blazers don't have anything to play for in this game as they are guaranteed the 13th seed either way. The Blazers have lost last 10 games this season and last ATS cover they had was 6 games ago vs the Pelicans, Even a lot of bench players for the Blazers are out in this game like Hart, Winslow and Watford who have been playing in last few games for the Blazers.

Prediction

Blazers' season has been over for a while now as they lost last 10 games and most of them were blow outs. It doesn't help the Blazers that they are facing the Jazz who want a win tonight to stay at the 5th place as Denver have the same record as them and in 6th place due to tie breaks. Utah Jazz should take this game seriously and get it done from the start vs this weak Blazers team so give me the Jazz here.
