Staff Prediction
The Jazz come into this one having won 3 of their last 4 games. Lauri Markkanen is having a breakout season for Utah, averaging 24 points per game. Portland comes into this matchup having lost 3 of their last 4 games. Damian Lillard scored 37 points in the Trail Blazers win last time out. This should be an evenly matched game, but with Portland having home court advantage, take the Trail Blazers to win and cover the 3.5 points.
