Portland at Utah

Portland has won four in a row and eight of nine, and seems to be peaking at the right time as it fights to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Trail Blazers come off a 140-129 win over Houston on Monday when Damian Lillard had 34 points as the Blazers exploded for 50 points in the first quarter. When the dust settled, the game had gone OVER the total by 29.5 points. Utah had a five-game winning streak snapped in a 119-116 loss at Golden State despite Jordan Clarkson's 41 points. Portland is in double-revenge after losing the first two meetings this season when it wasn't playing nearly as well as it is now. The Jazz still are playing without Donovan Mitchell (ankle), while the Trail Blazers have covered five of their past six road games. Portland is also 35-17 OVER in its past 52 road contests. Utah has gone OVER four in a row and six of its past eight games. Take the Trail Blazers and the OVER.
