The current betting odds have the Trail Blazers listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Trail Blazers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 26-28 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 10-15 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Jazz have looked terrible in their games this season with their 17-37 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the West with one of the worst records in the entire NBA. They have looked bad on their home court too with their 10-17 home record this season. The Jazz are off a win over the Heat in their last one, but they haven't looked good lately as they are 2-8 in their last 10 games. They have been one of the worst teams in the West all year and they aren't going to be in a great situation here, playing on a back-to-back with a game against the Kings the night before. The Trail Blazers are also on a back-to-back here, but they have been the more consistent team all season as they are nearing a .500 record and they have also looked a lot better lately too. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games, but they have some momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now and they are off a nice win over the 76ers in their last one. They have also been getting healthier lately with key players returning to the lineup so look for the Trail Blazers to get the job done here with the momentum on their side. The best way to place a bet here is on the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.

"I think we took care of the ball, only two turnovers that quarter. Our defense was on point. I think between Toumani, Jerami, DC, Rob, Jrue, I think it was a great defensive quarter out there. It helps when you make a lot of shots and you don't turn over the ball and give them layups." - Tiago Splitter after his team’s win against the 76ers in their game on Monday.

"Ace is doing it in a variety of ways. He is finding his opportunities to shoot 3s. He is finding his opportunities, trying to get on the rim, especially in transition. He has done a good job of recognizing when to shoot his pull-up. I think I've been most impressed with his cutting. I think it has allowed him to get some easy baskets. He and (Jusuf) Nurk have a good understanding of each other, and Ace's athleticism really shows up when he cuts, because he can create a lot of separation quickly." - Will Hardy on Ace Bailey this season.
