A 6-19 start did in the Utah Jazz as their season was pretty much over through 25 games. They have a poor record, but are riding firmly under the radar as they have been a lot more competitive since that point of the season. They have logged a 13-15 record over their last 28, and the best may be yet to come. The Jazz are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as they have a winning record in their last seven home games. The Jazz almost took it to Portland in their last meeting, falling by just a single point on the road. The Blazers are just 6-9 over their last 15 games, and have been playing well below the line in their last 20 at 7-13 ATS. While the overall numbers clearly justify the line here, these teams have changed directions and are much closer now. Take the points on Utah at home.

1.5 units on Utah +5.5 (-108) (risk 1.5 to return 2.89)
