Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Season record: 11-11
- DraftKings Spread: +4.5
- DraftKings Moneyline: +150
- DraftKings Over/Under: 226.5
The Portland Trail Blazers are suffering as a result of losing their sense of direction. They had been constantly winning up until the beginning of November, but recently they haven’t been able to pull off any win. In their most recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers, they fell by a score of 128-109. With that, they suffered their third straight defeat after losing to the Brooklyn Nets by a score of 111-97 and the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 118-112.
Their last victory was on November 25 by a score of 132-129 against the New York Knicks in a very close game that ended in overtime. After 22 games, in which they have won 50% of them, they are in fourth place in the Northwest Division.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Season record: 14-11
- DraftKings Spread: -4.5
- DraftKings: -185
- DraftKings Over/Under: 226.5
One of the teams that surprised everyone with its style of play at the start of the season was the Utah Jazz, but they ran into some issues in the second half of November. They suffered five straight defeats to the Bulls, Pistons, Warriors, Suns, and Clippers, but later in the season, a victory over the Clippers by a score of 125–112 gave them some breathing room.
Having started with positive results allowed them to have a more than useful margin for these negative streaks, and despite this, they haven’t dropped much in the Western Conference standings. They are in second place in the Western Division, and prior to the clash against Trail Blazers they defeated the Indiana Pacers by 139-119.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams have a lot at stake, besides pride as division rivals, but the Utah franchise won the first meeting between them this season by a score of 118-113, and something similar is expected here.
Prediction: Utah Jazz win by 7 points.
