Jazz vs Trail Blazers Prediction 2/24/25 NBA Picks Today

The Portland Trail Blazers travel to the Delta Center to do battle with the Utah Jazz on Monday night. Here’s a Jazz vs Trail Blazers Prediction. This article will include a Jazz vs Trail Blazers Pick.

The Portland Trail Blazers have been doing it tough as they were riding a four-game losing streak before they snapped out of it with a dominant 141-88 home win over the Hornets on Saturday. Anfernee Simons led the team in scoring with 25 points, Tounami Camara, Jabari Walker, and Shadeon Sharpe each scored 20 points while Deni Avdija chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot a healthy 58 percent from the field and 20 of 43 from the 3-point line as they absolutely dominated from the start and were never in danger after taking a 73-40 lead going into halftime.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have lost 14 of their last 18 games overall, but they will be keen to build some momentum after sneaking past the Rockets in a 124-115 home win on Saturday. Keyonte George led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists off the bench, Lauri Markkanen added 23 points with 10 rebounds while Walker Kessler chipped in with 11 points, 17 rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 50 percent from the field and 13 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Rockets in the first half and fell behind by eight points at halftime. The Jazz exploded for 37 points in the fourth quarter to make it look surprisingly easy in the end. The Jazz will take on the Kings and Timberwolves.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

• The Trail Blazers have lost each of their last 13 road games against Northwest Division opponents.
• The home team has won 10 of the Trail Blazers’ last 11 games.
• The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as road favorites against Northwest Division opponents.
• The home team has covered the spread in 11 of the Trail Blazers’ last 12 games.

Why the Portland Trail Blazers will win

• The Jazz have lost each of their last eight home games following a win.
• The Trail Blazers have won four of their last five night games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games against Northwest Division opponents.
• The favorites have covered the spread in each of the Trail Blazers’ last five games.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Jazz rank 30th in the league for steals per game this season (6.7).
• The Jazz rank 30th in the league for opponent steals per game this season (9.6).
• The Trail Blazers rank 30th in the league for Q1 win percentage this season (29.8%).
• The Trail Blazers rank 29th in the league for opponent steals per game this season (9.5).

The Trail Blazers are still missing Deandre Ayton, Matisse Thybulle, and Robert Williams, while the Jazz have ruled out Jordan Clarkson, and they are keeping an eye on Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen who are both questionable. The Trail Blazers were able to shake off the rust with a dominant win over the Hornets in their last outing. I think they are set for another big win against this slumping Jazz team who could be missing a bunch of key players. Both teams are missing plenty of players, but the Trail Blazers have plenty of depth to cover, and I think they win this one comfortably on the road.
