Portland

The loss to Utah in the first game of the season series isn't the only blunder the Trail Blazers have made this season. Chauncey Billups' team keeps failing by a big margin on the regular. The last time this happened was just previous game. On the road, Portland lost to Dallas by all accounts – 108:132. Before that, the Trail Blazers lost to San Antonio (94:114).

At the same time, Portland has a total of two more wins than Utah. With a 9-20 balance, the hosts are 13th in the Western Conference, ahead of only New Orleans, besides the Jazz.

Utah

The Jazz is playing their fifth straight away game. This run started with a 107:144 loss to the Clippers in LA, and then the visitors went to the Eastern Conference. First, Utah beat Detroit (126:119) and Brooklyn (105:94), but then lost to the current leaders, Cleveland (113:124), as expected.

At the moment, Utah's record is 7-21. For the second year running, the team from Salt Lake City hasn't quite managed to get their tournament problems sorted, and they're currently sitting pretty on the penultimate line in the Western Conference.

Expert Betting Tips

Utah has been playing away for ages, but they did a solid with two good games on the tour, beating Detroit and Brooklyn. They also seem to have what it takes to beat Portland. The teams are pretty evenly matched, and the Jazz have more to offer than the Trail Blazers. On top of that, the first face-off between the two teams this season ended well for Will Hardy's team. On the other hand, when it comes to three-pointers, we're betting on Portland.
