Jazz vs Trail Blazers Prediction
You can make a case for either side here, as both the Trail Blazers and Jazz have shown flashes of promise, and they’re a combined 7-0 ATS on the season. I’m going to grab the bucket with the Jazz at home. The Jazz have won both home games this season and Markkanen has taken his game to another level. The Trail Blazers are. Young team still learning how to win, so I’m not excited to back them in the favorite role on the road. The Trail Blazers also aren’t defending well this season. Give me the Jazz.
