Premium Pick

This young Utah team is getting it together, on a 4-1 ATS and 3-2 straight-up run, outscoring opponents 99.6 to 93.0 on average. They are also 9-4 ATS in their last 13 against the Western Conference. Utah never trailed Friday in a 110-100 win over conference-best Golden State. Gordon Hayward had 26 points and 15 rebounds against the Warriors. The Jazz are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games. Utah has been dominant on the glass lately, posting a plus-8.6 margin over the past five games. Portland limps home from a lousy road trip losing three in a row, including the last game as a favorite at Milwaukee. The Blazers are on a 2-8 ATS run, including 1-4 ATS at home. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and Utah is 7-3 ATS at Portland. The Trailblazers have dropped five of their last six games and eight of their last 10 so they are quite vulnerable. Over the past three seasons, Portland is just 19-29 straight-up after back-to-back losses and 9-18 after three straight losses. Grab the points on Utah and throw a small flyer on the moneyline too.
