Premium Pick

Utah enjoyed one of its best performances of the season with a 120-90 blowout at Portland on Friday night and it followed a 108-103 win at home against Golden State. Ricky Rubio had 24 points and eight assists for the Jazz, which shot nearly 50 percent from three-point range and it was the worst home loss for the Trail Blazers since 2004. The Jazz looks for payback for a 122-113 loss to Oklahoma City on Dec. 10 and the Thunder hasn't covered the number in four of its last five road contests. Also, the Thunder is 6-20 ATS its last 26 games verus teams in the Northwest Division. Meanwhile, Utah has covered its last four home games and the home team has covered the spread four of the last five meetings. Oklahoma City has won three straight, but the opponents were Sacramento, Chicago and the Clippers. This will be a much tougher test, so play the Jazz.
