Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 23-24
The Utah Jazz were riding a nice two-game winning streak, but they ran into the Brooklyn Nets and lost by a score of 117-106. Since November, they have not been able to get more than two wins in a row, which is not a good sign for those who want to make it to the postseason.
The worst part of all is that they don’t have a bad team, but their downswings are very noticeable. They have Jordan Clarkson in good shape, as in the last 10 games he has improved his production and is now scoring 23.7 points per game.
Lauri Markkanen has been worsening an average of 9.9 rebounds per game, but Ochai Agbaji is a rookie who has a good average of points with the minutes he has been given: in January, he has played 163 minutes and averages 6.9 points per game; plus, he is among the most participative players of the Jazz offense.
Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 21-25
The Portland Trail Blazers beat the Mavericks twice in a row and seemed to have raised their level of performance, but that was not true: they lost three consecutive games, they did not maintain their performance level, they were not consistent during the game, they lost the advantage, and they made silly mistakes.
Damian Lillard is one of the lights amidst the darkness this season in Portland. Against Denver alone, which they lost by a score of 122-113, he scored 41 points. Moreover, in the last 10 games, he has averaged 32.9 points and 7.5 assists. He is working hard, but his teammates are not helping him maintain the advantage, which is not new in Portland.
JefeBet Prediction
This is the third game of a tied series. The first one went to the Jazz by 118-113, and the second one went to the Trail Blazers by a score of 116-111. We believe that the tie will be broken this time by the Jazz and that they will win the game. Portland is not coming along so well, and although Lillard is in great shape, it will not be enough for them.
Prediction: Utah Jazz Moneyline.
