Free Utah Jazz vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:

The Trail Blazers have won just five games straight up in their last 17 overall. But they’re coming off a slump-buster of a blowout victory over the San Antonio Spurs, and they feel more likely than Utah to ultimately buy (not sell) at the trade deadline.

A Turning Point for the Trail Blazers

With all that in mind, the Trail Blazers are the pick here both straight up and against the spread. Yes—even considering the Jazz have won three out of four (and five out of seven) straight up.

Of the two teams, the Trail Blazers need a convincing victory. And I think they get it here with almost two weeks to go until the 2023 NBA trade deadline.
